What's the smallest amount of money you would pick up? Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

I went into the road in front of a bus today to pick up a 2p coin. Usually I lob 1p coins for some lucky 5 year old, finding one always used to make me day when I was that age.

Most people I know would pick up a 5p from the floor but find anything less too demeaning.

Quarter. Mainly because they have so many uses (unlike pennies, which have very few)

I pick everything up, unless they are suspiciously covered in slime. I'm about as poor as you can get.

10p.

Pennies and two pences I never spend, so have no reason to pick up. 5p pieces I would pick up if they weren't so damn small. Generally they evade my fingers, and take two or three attempts to pick up, making me look desperate or retarded.

I figure that if it takes 2 seconds to pick up a penny, that comes to $10.80/hr. Not awful, but sometimes I'll skip pennies. Anything larger I'll nab.

I think you'd get slowed down a bit after stuffing the first couple hundred into your pockets.

I pick up quarters and sometimes dimes.

But I guess it could be worth bending over for any money.

Increase Your PM Length

Me and a couple of friends were walking home from school one day and stumbled upon a 50 on the ground, 50 dollar bill that is not a half dollar, it took a second before one of my friends started chasing it (its alwasy windy up here) they eventually got it. Lucky bastard, I should have ran after it!
