would you bother picking up........

[brimfull]

a penny when sweeping the kitchen floor?

I'm a lazy mare for sweeping it into the bin apparently,what would you do?

collect 100 pennies and you'll have a pound

true but I'm still a lazy bitch though

i keep a tub for pennies and two pences and five pences and throw them in as i dont like them.
i take them to a machine in sainsburys that turns them into real money

I often put coppers in the bin too.

Those bloody machines at Sainsbury's charge you for counting your coppers though!

Oh, I couldn't throw away money. Or stones.

i pick them up, put them in a pot, and the kids sort them out, it makes about £20 worthwile job for a 12 year old

you better believe it!

if you saw a pound coin instead of a penny, would you bin it? cuz that's what you're doing, throwing away money.

i save coppers in an old coffee can and the bank counts 'em up for free.

i started dd1's saving accounts w/£10 i'd got from saving coppers.

I can't throw pennies away either.

We have a huge whisky bottle thing, that all change goes it.
Counted once a year or so.
Ds LOVES it and when I give him a couple of coppers to put in his money box, that 'nanny seaside' bought him, he puts them in the whisky bottle !
Little sweetie.

My Gran used to say;

See a penny, pick it up
All day long you have good luck

(You would never find money on the floor in our house though as DD has radar that detects any money that you take your eye off for a split second and puts it in her money box )

suppose I should get myself a jar to collect all the stray coppers...take myself on holiday ...in twenty years time

i have thrown a few pennies away... especially if they come from out the back of somewhere and are all dusty

normally i keep them but if its just one odd one i have been know to throw it out

bin too

Pick it up - would be used for the coppertrail at school in a couple of weeks, lol.

Yes then I give it to whichever child is nearest and tell them to put it in their money box.

We have about £90 in a jar that is made up of 1p, 2p and 5p pieces Got it the first xmas we married and are married 9yrs, so that's the equivalent of £10 a year
