Shiney Penny

[Linksquest]

There are 2 kinds of people in this world:

when they see a penny on the ground they will

1) Frown and say, "HOW UNHYGENIC!!! GAH!!!"

2) Laugh and say, "AWSOME! I'M ONE PENNY RICHER!!!"


Which one are you?

[bakura_fan]

I go for the "I'm one penny richer!" *hops up and down excitedly*. Hey...One time at Knotts Berry Farm I was able to get $5 in change just be riding a rolar coaster over and over in the same spot. How'd I get all that? Well...the floor mat was broken in one section so everyone's money from their pockets was stuck under there. I had to wash all the stickyness off but hey...money is money.

[Danyasaur]

I'm more of a "OOOOO! SHINEY!" person X3 lol, I remember one time I found $20 on the ground on my old paper route O.o;;

[Mr. SmartyPants]

i'm more of a "eh... its a penny..." person...

[Little T-chan]

haha I'm the "Yay!! I'm one penny richer!!!! =D" person. Pennies ARE MONEY!!!!!! But...It's kinda hard when I shop for clothes because there are many people behind me while I count out my change...^^u

[true_noir_chloe]

I'm the person who walks around the penny and keeps going. The whole hygiene thing is something else. That comes into play when someone I know tries to pick it up.

"No! You don't know where that penny's been!"

*hehe*

[Ducky]

I'm the type of person that in a happy mood picks up the penny, realizes it's dirty and I don't want it and then tries to make anybody in my vicinity take the penny as a gift. If I'm in a not so happy mood I note how the dirt makes picking it up not worth the effort unless someone else tries for it ... then we go back to plan a.

"HOW UNHYGENIC!!! GAH!!!" (Normally, however, I don't usually use that many exclamation points when I speak. *giggles*)

Most of the time, I just take it. When you get a penny from a source other than the US mint, you really don't know where it's been. There's at least a fair chance that someone picked it up off the ground and used it to pay for something.

[kaji]

I’m usually someone who would pick the penny up…

But not to keep. I usually try to see how long I can get it to roll on it’s side or spin, then I just leave it wherever it lands. Or if there is a fountain or pool of water near by... In it goes!!! ^_^

Yep, that’s the way it’s done.

[Mangafanatic]

I fall into the third category. Yes, I know-- there was no third category, but I think there should be.

Category number three) There's nothing gross about that penny, but I'm not going to pick it up because the value of US currency is so inflated that that measily penny doesn't have enough gold backing it up to make it worth more than the bottle cap in my pocket.

Yeah, that's me. Just kidding. I'm not really that cynical. Or atleast not often. I generally don't pick up pennies because I don't ever see them. You see, I'm the chick who drops all those pennies y'all are considering picking up.

[Rachel]

I would most definitely pick up the penny. You never know when you might be one penny short when you go to buy a mountain dew and then you realize, "hey, I just picked a penny up off the street, I do have enough!" So yeah, pick up those pennies folks.

[Mr. SmartyPants]

hahaha, mangafanatic you're funny

[christianfriend]

I would say "Yay! Im one penny richer"!!! I like money..

[Jasdero]

I'll just glance at it [the penny], and walk on. But! A quarter... that's an entirely different story.

[Linksquest]

yes! a Penny a day keeps the Jetty away! ok... i just put jetty in there cause it rhymed with penny... sorta... or not?

[Yojimbo]

I'm kinda like Ducky. If I'm in a good mood I will always pick the penny up if I'm in a not so good mood I will never pick it up.

[ssj2gohan61]

O_O a penny on the floor? where? where? where? hah id have to go with the im 1 penny richer

[MorwenLaicoriel]

I run for the penny...and get beaten to it by my little brother. XD He's a penny maniac.

But when he's not around, or I actually manage to see it and grab it first, I often do two things--inspect how shiny it is, and look at the year. Either way I put it in my pocket afterwards, and often forget about it...XD

[Kisa]

Ewww dirty penny . . . LOL
Yea I'm with Chloe, you don't know where its been . . .
Now if it was a higher amount of money, maybe . . . >_<

[Azier the Swordsman]

I guess I'm the third person. If I see a penny on the ground, I usually don't care.

[JediSonic]

I the kind of person who picks up a nickle just outside the church and then goes inside, sneaks into the closet and hides the nickle in the collection basket so they'll find it the next day!

okay so I was a bit bored that day... usually I leave pennies alone, unless its a really shiney one. then I most likelye play with it for a while or just put it in my pocket or give it away or throw it, depeding on what kind of mood I'm in.

[Linksquest]

Hahahha!!! Thats Awsome!!!

[Jasdero]

You should see my brother. Touch a penny on the ground and he'll clobber you. He collects them, and then washes them. ";;; Yes, it's true. He'll gather them all up, fill up a sink with water, put some antibacterial soap in it, and wash them while he's singing his little songs. I love him.

[oro!]

I would pick it up. Who knows, it could be a 1922 penny worth a lot of money. Besides, I am a little short on cash. "A penny saved is a penny earned" in my book.
And I am not someone who will walk around it if it is face down. There is no such thing as bad luck.

[Kura Ookami]

I'm really the thrid kind of person. I usually just leave it there and not care about it. I mean if you pick up loads of pennies they can really weigh alot and that can be a drag sometimes.

[Linksquest]

But then there is always that convenient machine thingy in the grocery stores that turns change into cash... no wait... they charge a %?!?!?!?!? WHAT??!?!??!

[Ssjjvash]

The Vashage: O.O "Oh, a penny! Someone must have dropped it..." *looks around to see if anyone is looking for a coin* "Guess not! MINE!!!!!!!!"

[Jasdero]

or Mine... : )

[PrincessZelda]

I'm the second one.
