What is the lowest level coin you would pick up off the floor?
It must be 20p these days for all that effort of bending down. Last year it was 50p but this credit crunch is hard!

Went up to check out some work the builders are doing for me tday and we found a sixpence under a unit that had just been ripped out.

I know a millionare who when he stops at traffic lights or is in the queue at Dartford,has a good look around to see if anyone has dropped any coins,when he sees one (even a 1p) he jumps out of his car (an F reg montego) and picks it up.
never been on holiday in his life ,never been married either,sad isnt it.

I was once in the accounts office of a company that runs quite a few other companies and a lot of them are cash. I was trusted and went in and out of the place quite a lot. One day the head accountant was rattling away to me and we were on about turnowver (Daily)
He said to look through the cheque tray behind me to get an idea.
25,000
4,700
37,500
175,000
460,000
750,000.02 ??????
I questioned the 2p, and was told of the admin charges for shortfall and late payments etc, and was told it would have been sent back and charged had the .02p ben left off.
Then told Why do the think the family who tun are all multi millionaires and never borrow from the banks but lend to big business.

Annother guy (millionaire) I know used to carry 2 fag packets. 1 packet was full for him. The other had 2 cigs in. Allways in a long meeting he would have a cig and give the last one away. As the meeting progressed he allways chain smoled everyone elses, when the fags ran out the meeting seemed to end suddenly.
Part reason why the rich stay rich, they allways smoke someone elses fags. ;D ;D

I pick any change I see up, I ain't proud! Anything less than a 50p goes in a demi-john as soon as I get in anyway.

It would have to be a £50 note.
But I would not dream of picking it up myself.
I would get my Butler to do it for me. :-* :-* :-* :-*

Some people drop coins - shrug then wander off.
Jack is good at money finding, under counters, in coin machines, on pavements.
He has found quite a few £1 coins, and at a local supermarket there is large box called coinstar, constant source of small change. ;D

I dropped 50p and it hit me on the back of the head when I bent down to pick it up ;D
-
I must be 'cheap' as I`d pick up any denomination of coinage! ;)

A mate of mine used to carry a hammer and chisel arround in his car and reckoned he has collected a fair bit of silver over the years.

The lowest face value coin I would pick up is a Third of a Farthing......................................................................................................well it is from 1878, in mint condition, and many years ago I researched the value to be told it was worth £70! 8-) 8-) ;)

i'd pick anything up me.

;D ;D nice inflation there Lizzie :y Incidentally talking of coinage as we are. Have a look at your £2 coins, moreover the queen on the back. If she is smaller and has her necklace on then the collectors will pay for them, Sold the one I had left (after a friend of middle daughter's stole 3 of them to buy fags >:( ) for £25 :y

I do it at work with the cleaners. We have a pot we put all the change we find in to. Start it in Jan and it easily pays for a small Xmas buffet for us all :y Over £30 last year.
