Lowest value

something daft already!! · Friday at 15:05

I was out walking with my partner last night and saw a 50p coin on the ground. I mentioned it to her and we ignored it and walked on. Got me thinking, what would be the lowest value coin you would pick up? I think maybe a 2 pound coin. Even then I would probably leave it.

You'd leave £2? 50p and up I'd pick up, not that you really see change anymore

£1.

Never know when you need one to unlock a trolley and I never bloody have one on me.

I'd pick up a 50p, even though I very rarely spend any coins any more.

20p I'm walking by.

I would pick up anything silver or gold.

Anything short of a £50 note I'm leaving.

Plus I don't want to be bending down putting creases iny new Gucci belt.

I'd leave it for somebody who needs it

I'd probably lean to pick it up and find someone's glued it down for a laugh.

This makes me think back to World Cup in Germany where some people left footballs filled with concrete around the city

Not a gucci belt wearer, so I'm definitely picking up a 2p! :cry:

I sometimes bend over even when there's no money to pick up*

* call me **
** although, confusingly, if there is money going I will also bend over. ***

It was not so long ago that I finally didn't bother to pick up a 2p.

Was the coin placed in the urinal deliberately?

When I was a kid, my grandad made a bit of a game of it - we'd keep an eye out for coins and lighters in particular and bring them back home with us. The lighters just so we could make them spark.

But it's always stuck with me - even a penny I'd pick up. Then they get stuck in a jar that I never get round to dealing with. I figure at some point the kids might be motivated to take them to a bank.

This is the correct answer, and if I'm in a good mood, I'd pick up a lucky penny.

See a penny, pick it up, all day long you'll have good luck

I recently cashed in a money box full of 1p, 2p and 5p pieces at one of those 'Coinstar' machines at the supermarket.

Made about £6, and tbh it's probably the last time I'll ever do it, given us moving ever closer to a society with no physical money.

Years ago I'd cash it in about twice per year. This time around it took about five years to fill.

I'll keep the moneybox as an ornament though.

I'd pick up anything as long as I can lick it before I spend it.

50p is a good looking coin.
