Why not ? are you too proud and egotistic or really physically inept and too weak to pick up misly penny ?
People accross the world have less than a dollar to spend the day with. If you dont want that penny in your pocket pick it up and give it away.
Money is money no matter how little it is.

I don't drop change on the ground.
I pick up the change you drop.
One way to illustrate my point is to retell the story of the computer hacker who worked at the bank, who programmed the odd pennies off transactions to go into an offshore account. He amassed a fortune before he was caught.
I pay for gas and other expenses on pennies, aluminum tabs, cans, and other scrap metal. I have time left over to write, to think, to enjoy my family, friends, life itself. Who's laughing now? Me that's who, on my way to MORE than one bank.
As to the argument that the amount of energy is not worth the penny retrieved, I say that's nonsense. Most of you who scorn to pick up a penny are lazy oxygen thieves. American suffers from obesity, laziness, and fear of pain. That's why we're losing this war on terrorism, just like we have been losing the war on drugs. Pick up the penny, people and get some exercise. You don't have to pay big bucks like some do for a silly gym where you look like gerbils on tread mills.
We'll see, some day, who has the more wealth, me who pinch & scrape, or you who think you're too good or too rich to pick up a cent or aluminum can tab.

If I drop it...I pick it!!
After all, "A penny saved is a penny earned". :-)
Oh,and I actually use pennies too. It's funny I answered this Q now because, I just used pennies when I bought coffee from this cafe here.

I pick up Pennies simply because they have God's name on them and I don't like the thought of people walking on it. So yes I always stop to pick up a penny.

Do it one hundred instances and you have earned your self a greenback for unfastened! Do it 10 instances with a dime . . . Do it 4 instances with 1 / 4 . . . choose I say extra? An previous English saying: discover a penny, p.c.. it up, all day long you've gotten solid luck. no longer inevitably real, yet you're a penny richer than earlier!

As a matter of fact I do. I've never seen the logic of just throwing away money for no particualar reason.
On the other hand it is well known that Frank Sanatra used to hate pennies and when he would get them he would toss them.

I don't drop pennies on the ground, I throw them in a can and then give them to my sons to count up and share!

Always. To understand the power of the dollar, you must first understand the power of the penny.
