I will pick it up if it is easy to get to, not a dangerous or high traffic place, and fairly clean. If it rolls under something I usually don't worry about it or if it is in a busy walk area or road. I also do get them if they are in a yucky puddle, etc..

No. But i do stop to look at what face is facing up.

If the face of the penny isn't up, i pick up and flip it so it is. xD

I pick up every penny I find, heads up or otherwise. When I go for walks, I actually spend more time looking for change on the ground than looking at the scenery! Who knows why he dropped all the pennies on the ground, but I'm sure someone was glad that he did. :)

I do all the time.  I don't really care if it's heads up or tails.  I figure it's a small amount but can build into something bigger later.

Absolutely.  I'll pick up a penny on the ground just as quickly as I spend 9 minutes watching a .01 paid to watch video.

I'm grateful for every cent that comes my way.   :heart:
Have a great day!

I work at Walmart and am always finds money on the floor.  I have found 20 dollar bills and 5 dollar bills and I take them to the service desk in case someone comes in and claims it.  But if I find change on the floor I use to just keep it.  Now we have a stand to put extra change in for the Children's hospital and I put it in there now.  Hope everyone has a good day and may God bless each of you and keep you safe.

Still picking up those pennies or is it penny's? English grammar was not my strong point. Suppose it still is not. Back in the day they had penny candy. Every time my buddy needs help going to the dollar store I look for low cost candy. Never find it at a dollar store. But the local paper store has candy for 15 cents. And they will give you up to 4 cents if you need it towards emergency purchases. Wonder how many calories a penny buys.  ;D

Yup! "See a penny, pick it up, all day long you'll have good luck!" We are "picking up pennies" here on Fusion Cash too and it all adds up!   ;D

"Find a penny, pick it up,
And all day you'll have good luck!

Find a penny, let it lay, and bad
luck you'll have all day."

I grew up believing that this poem were fact!  So it's very hard for me to leave a penny laying on the ground. 
I only leave it if it is really in a filthy location and probably would bring me more harm than good.
