Based on superstition rather than any monetary value.

    I always pick 'em up. I throw ALL my pennies in a jar and cash them in every few months. The other day I cashed them in and had enough for two packs of cigarettes.

    Only silver colored coins.

    I've thrown away pennies while cleaning before b/c I was too lazy to put it somewhere else

    I am a change whorte. I will pick up anything as long as it isn't covered in urine.

    Shouldn't there be an option for the superstitious who only pick it up when Lincoln is facing up? I usually just leave em.

    Does that include women? Or is the urine thing optional?

     

    :P

    Urine is sterile guys, not really a big deal. Really. Get your piss-money.

    Never. I also pick out all the other coins and leave the pennies in the change dispenser at the grocery store.

    Walk around CiCi's Pizza's parking lot; you find one there with their logo on it, you get free food.

    Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine? No, but I do it anyway because it's sterile and I like the taste.

    That's me.

     

    When it comes to change, I keep all of my quarters in my car's ashtray and I give all of the pennies, nickels, and dimes to my siblings for their change jars.
