If you dropped a penny in a public restroom, would you bother picking it up?

Of course.  Money is money, right?  Save up enough pennies eventually you have a dollar.  Save up enough dollars eventually you have.....well, I think you get the idea.  Out of all the coins, the penny has always had a special place in my heart.  Poor thing just ends up sitting somewhere waiting....either in a change jar or a wallet or a public restroom floor.  People see a quarter and, sure, they forget that old crink in the back and immediately bend down to pick it up.  Wouldn't do that for the penny.  I guess all my grandmother's lectures of what it was like to live during the depression rest somewhere in the front of my mind.

Well it might look a little prejudicial cause a penny is pretty worthless plus it's brown.  How about a quarter, then you can call someone who cares.\n\nAnd thanks for the two points.

Place a penny on a busy sidewalk (in a shopping mall) and notice how many people pass by it.  Then place a nickel and see if that number changes, and then a dime and then a quarter.  You should be able to chart a direct relation to the number of stop and pick a coin the more its value increases.  Thus you are observinb people's behavior when it comes to the time and effort to bend over and pick up a coin in relation to the relative worth of that coin.

Well, for me it's tough to predict what comes with laying a little coil in a public restroom, I mean what if I toot and someone hears it or smells it...I wouldn't want someone to know that I was poopin'.  That might not make them like me anymore. Then I would cry and no one wants a somber workplace!

Will you take pennies?

I usually go answer Tech questions, but this was too much to resist :)\n\nThis to me, depends on the quality of the money, if I see a shiny penny, I would pick it up, though I wouldnt get close to it if it was covered with gum, mud, etc, all depends on condition. \n\nAs for anything larger than a penny, I honestly dont care about the condition unless it was really disgusting, cigarette ash, gum, poop, none of that stuff and i'll take it :)\n\nFor bills, my eye that looks for cleaniness goes blind and I dont care what condition it is in, its money! In fact, I once picked up a McDonalds coupon good for a Big Mac half off with purchase of a Big Mac. Since it says "No actual cash value", I guess I picked up things that are worthless as well :)

LOL! You might want to consider removing the dick from your forhead before you try to pick up

No... Merchants already make adjustments for the worthlessness of the penny by give adjusted change, - or by having a give-and-take "thingy" near the register.\n\nBesides, taking it out of circulation will just cause people to hoard them, - thinking that they will be valuable.

Maybe by going to your recycling bin.( if you have one)

Hopefully you're getting up and taking it to the toilet!

I don't think I could use it, Seeing other people walk by me while I'm trying to use the bathroom, might stop the urge. But on the other hand, it would make for kinky bathroom sex. \n\nOr if I had to really really, really, really, really go, then I might use it.

if i knew before i left the store then, yes, i would own up.  if i discovered it after i would not go out of my way to go back.  however, to keep my karma clear i would make sure to do something nice with the money -- not nice like get myself a manicure, nice like donate it to one of those charity boxes or something.

yea... i'd squidge my way to the kitchen for a paper towel or a napkin (or perhaps use one of the non-glossy magazines or a newspaper from the bathroom)...\n\nor you could just make a habit of checking the roll before you sit down and never have a problem... (but that makes too much sense for most people)

No, absolutely not. Why would you want to stop stacking a 100 of them each time you want to deposit a dollar to your bank account? Not to mention saving your gas money to make the trip to the bank? And pretending there is a huge difference in saving when paying $11 for something that costs $10.99 . So yes, it's definitely worth having pennies around

I always pick up any money I see lying around.  I don't little kids picking it up and washing it off in the mouth like I use to do.  LOL  I always had to see how shiny I could make it.  so, my answer is a penny.

1 penny, sure.  Ah the heck, you can have a dollar.\nI donated my change to the Salvation Army occasionally.\nJust to remind you, there are good and kind people in this world like myself.

i think in public is ok, but not in a restraunt, go to the restroom if you really need to blow
