Pretty much what I do. Except if it's a quarter I'll flip it over. Make my own luck.I'll pick up any coin as long as it's Heads Up. I remember being told as a kid that this was considered lucky. If it's not Heads Up, I leave it where it is.
This is why I keep 4 pennies on me at all times.If you had kept one penny to give her, you would have gotten a ten back and saved everyone time and money.
Quarter candy?I regularly leave change laying on the counter at corner stores. Basically anything less than 15-20 cents, I don’t even bother keeping, unless my kids are with me. We should round all prices to the nearest 25 cents.
When I was about 8 or 9 I was riding my Huffy through my neighborhood and found ten $1 bills scattered along a gutter. Have no idea how/why they wound up there. I was on them like flies on crap.Lol I forgot that my wife and I used to play a game when went on walks after work. We would see who could find the most loose change while walking. If you saw it you called it and I would pick it up for her. Whoever had the most at the end of the walk won. Many walks were won .01 to 0 or .10 to .05. One time she found a dollar bill and I thought I would never here the end of her victory from that walk. It was maybe a month later I found a twenty. I love to bring it up occasionally by asking her if she remembers that time we were walking and I found that twenty.
That was my first thought when I saw the results. Nobody under the age of 30? Good lord.Jesus, we're old
I do one of those automatic savings transfers where all purchases round up a dollar and the "coins" are put in the savings acct, so yeah I always see things as whole dollar purchases.I basically consider any change to just be a net cost of an extra dollar on any purchase.
Honestly why would there be. Message boards like this are dinosaurs.Nobody under 30 in here... not surprised.
Is that good or bad for the national discourse?Honestly why would there be. Message boards like this are dinosaurs.
You owe me fifty centsI've found two quarters in the Aldi parking lot over the years. And I've only been there maybe 15 times total. I think it's the fat people who drop their cart quarter are unable to bend down to pick it up. Yay me.
True Story.
Yes - that seems odd to meCan I complain here about the waiter bringing me a $5 bill in change when I gave him a twenty for s $14.10 tab?
A couple hundred years ago the internet must have had a lot of talk of getting rid of them, or at least not picking them up.If I ever see a 1793 halfpenny on the ground, I will certainly pick it up.
PassA new factor to consider.
Local card room. See a quarter on the floor in a stall in the men's room. Pick it up?
I can put an eye out or leave a welt flicking a coin. Fast enough to make them buzz through the air. So I've got that going for me. Which is nice.My buddy in college taught me a way to flick them by snapping my fingers. It's pretty fun.
