Yes. Puts me one penny closer to a million bucks in my penny jar.

Well, it depends on the situation and location:
1. When i see a penny in a jeepney, bus or any public utility vehicle, I will pick it up and give it to the vehicle in charge like the driver or conductor or guard, because I consider it as their money.
2. When i see a penny inside the house of someone, I will call one of the family members and let them pick the penny.
3. When i see a penny on the road, i will not pick it up so that those who really need it such as beggars, kids etc.
4. when i see a penny inside my home, i will pick it up and drop it into my coin bank.

Never. Last time I picked up a penny I thought to myself "Oh...good luck!" 5 minutes later I was in handcuffs. I've never picked up another penny since.

nope, i personally dont because for one a penny is not much at all, you need 100 to make a dollar lol
but i think people do it for luck, find a penny means you found something today things are going well. im not really sure but i think that might have something to do with it, there is a saying too about finding pennies and good luck.

No, it takes more effort to pick up a penny than one can make in the same amount of time.

Only if it is face up
my grandmother was a gypsy and quite wise and full of the "old ways"
she had a "thing" about the "lost penny" and that's where I learned the "method" to my madness !!
Deal is--- if it is face up--- it means good fortune
If it is tails up--- you turn it over without picking it up--- this allows the very next person to capitalize on the good fortune thing--- I was never told the reasonings behind this-- but with Gramms --there was plenty of reasons not to quiz the why's !!

Usually, yes.
why?
A penny saved is 20 cents earned :)
-- assuming a savings rate of 5%
And a penny invested is 10 cents for retirement (invested in a an index mutual fund over 30 years).
Cordially,

I do. Number one because it's money. But also because:
see a penny, pick it up, all the day you'll have good luck.

you pick up the penny if the heads side is up then you'll have good luck for the rest of the day if it is the other side you turn it over for somebody else to be lucky! <3
