A Poll: If you see a penny on the ground, do you pick it up?

Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.
Lately L has been super into looking for (and picking up) money on the ground when we are out shopping or whatever and I am curious, do you pick up a penny if you see it? I feel like years ago, I would have seen a penny on the ground and wouldn’t even have bothered. Actually, I probably wouldn’t even have noticed it. A quarter, maybe, because quarters are fun, but a penny? Meh.

But now, not only do I pick them up, I actively look for them. I mean, without me, L would never find anything. I kinda find it, point him in the right direction and then let him discover it on his own. He gets so excited when he sees a penny or gasp, a dime and scoops it right up. Yeah, I know, money on the ground is dirty. So are Target carts.  But he’s saving for his bunk beds (*) and every little bit counts.

Once place we always seem to find change in the parking lot is Lowe’s.  I don’t know what it is about Lowe’s, but there are always pennies in the parking lot.  I swear, next time you go, look!  They could end up funding a trip to Hawaii!

So tell me, do you pick up pennies if you see them?  If not, what would you pick up?  Dimes?  Quarters?  Or do you just go for the paper bills?  Let’s hear it!

(*) Have I mentioned why L wants bunk beds? He thinks we are all going to sleep in the same room once we have bunk beds.  He thinks B and I will sleep on the bottom bunk and him on the top.  It’s sweet, yes, but totally not happening and why I continue to delay the bunk bed purchase.  I need to wait till WB is bigger so WB can sleep on the bottom and L can sleep on the top!!  Because no matter what I say, he insists that no, once you have bunk beds people need to sleep on the bottom bunk.  It’s kinda like how he thinks B is Batman. No matter what you say, he still insists B is Batman ;).
