I haven't used it yet, but I'm stock piling change! I’ve recently started to collect pennies (I used to just toss them) since I noticed my local credit union has a complimentary coin counter.

If you drop a coin to make someone happy, know that even those over 30 can get excited to find money.

Yeah, coins do ad up fast. I like my bank's free coins counting machine. Oh dear, and I refused to take my 2 pennies from the bodega the other day.

A couple of months ago, I picked up a dime and dropped it. A few days later, I found it was still there and picked it up again. Is a dime too much to pick up? Will people come back looking for a dime? I have qualms about picking up quarters. Mom I pick up coins and drop them outside houses where children live.

Maybe I'll occasionally drop one on the sidewalk in front of the school I live near :) My mom and youngest brother (he's 15 now) have always made a game out of finding pennies, nickels, etc. on the ground.

Now I won't go diving into muck for one, but I would pickup one laying there for sure. Mrs. M - Maybe your library could have a change jar at the desk for donations. Even if you had to take it to Coinstar afterwards, I bet you would end up with a decent amount every month! Pennys send the same as dollars!

No, because you'd be making the dropper happy or something. I'd be happy if you were happy. “But does that mean that if I pick up pennies, I’m an inconsiderate person?”
