Lowest value

[Penfold101]

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

FTFY.

 

[Feek]

It's all money, I'm having any coins I see.

 

[shifty_uk]

I'd leave it for somebody who needs it

This, there will be some kid or pensioner more appreciative of it

Last time I bent over to pick up a random coin my butthole hurt for a week....

 

[Hagar]

5p and I did.

 

[slinxy]

on my dailty walks/jogs, I'll pick up all coins that I see, I put it in a piggy bank and need to see how much I've collected.
I've also picked up bracelets and necklaces in the past, posted them on the local FB group for people to claim back.

Yeah I understand that some people earn more money than the time it takes to bend over and pick it up, but I'm not going out of my way to do it, I'm there already so why not!?
Funny enough if someone wanted me to "work" for them over the weekend or evening, then they would need to pay me 4 times my hourly salary per hour.. my own time is too valuable.

 

[TommyV]

20ps and up I’d imagine, unless it was a particularly shiny 10p

 

[dave28]

I found two £5 notes in the last year but I never see coins much. I would pick up £1 or £2 but would be looking to wash my hands ASAP

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.

Back when I was at school I got into the habit of picking up any coin.
It paid a large chunk of the price of a game gear over the space of a single term, although it did require I get some coin bags from the local bank.

These days probably a 20p if I wasn't in a hurry, and a good chance that would then go into a donation tin somewhere.

 

[GIBURROWS]

I wouldn't bend over for anything but an unsigned check from a reputable bank.

 

[Lopéz]

Euro and above.

 

[HoneyBadger]

I’d pickup even 1p, chuck it in the coin jar. I also get good luck for a day!

 

[Blackstar_solar]

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

20p I'm walking by.

This is the correct answer. Logically I'd only do it for £1 but the 50p size poses it into the pickup category.

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

This happened to me recently. I was so mad!

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

Good point. My wife collects found pennies so I'd have to add an exception for 1ps

 

[danlightbulb]

50p is the coin you should pick up over all others. It might be a valuable one eg with Harry Potter or Peter Rabbit on the tails side.

 

[Yaayuh!]

I wouldn't bother picking up a coin. It'll just end up rattling around my pocket and then a drawer.

In particular, my daughter. She has a very sharp eye for such things.
She found a 50p at the town fair yesterday and it was burning a hole in her pocket as we walked around the stalls and rides, until she came to a charity stall for local kids, whereupon she went straight up and placed that coin squarely on the table as her proclamation of their cause being worthy.

 

[swillsy]

20p upwards - we need a poll

 

[Maundie]

Any coin I find I pick up and put in the nearest charity box in a shop etc.

 

[DJMK4]

I wouldnt bend over for anything less than 50p

 

[Terminal_Boy]

At my age, bending over isn’t something to be done on a mere whim.

It would have to be at least a €1 coin to be worth it, but it’s unlikely to happen outside of a bar or a tabac these days.
