i dont think many people do anymore at the risk of seeming tight. im thinking of doing a project at uni where everyone has to pick up every penny they see and put in a charity box that'll be kept at uni. is this a good idea or will people think its lame and not bother?

I used to pick up pennies and believed that they could bring me good luck. I grew out of that and now I just can't be bothered to bend down anymore, you can't do anything with a penny these days. If it was a pound then yes I would definitely bend over. As for your idea of putting it in a charity box in your uni, I think it is a very good idea.

I allways pick up pennies in the street it's good luck and you never know one day you might buy something from the shop and be a penny short.
As for your idea of a charity box at uni I think thats a good idea

I too, pick up pennies. It's not a being-cheap thing, for me it's a "luck" thing. You know...."Find a penny, pick it up, all day long you'll have good luck." I'm not overly superstitious, but why push the envelope.
Anyway, I think that's a wonderful idea. If I were there I would participate. Maybe you could hand out little coin-bank boxes for people to fill up and then they could bring them all to one central location. Kinda like they do in Sunday School classes

I do pick them up, since I collect wheat back pennies it is usually the best way to find them!

An excellent idea.
I don't bother picking up pennies, but if there was something like that around, I would

i always pick them up.
i think that its a good charity idea, but how about including all change because i find more dimes then pennies at my campus. plus, you'll make more money for the charity!

Come to think of it, I do pick
up coins when I find them.
I have never thought of saving
them and giving them to charity.
It may not add up to much, but
if everyone did it, it sure would.

I still do it and put it in a jar and when it is full I give it to charity. it's amazing how much money is lying about.
