Larry Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Absolutely. I have this strange feeling if you see money lying on the ground and you do not pick it up you'll have bad financial luck..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryanne Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Only if its on heads. Also if I drop one and it lands on tails I do not pick it up. Maryanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Wood Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I used to, but not anymore. Has to be at least a dime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparx Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Always!! Someone told me that if you find a penny-doesn't matter if its heads up or down-that someone in heaven is letting you know they are watching over you. It always seems that when I'm at my lowest, I find a penny and it lets me know my brother is taking care of me from up above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 I absolutely always pick up a penny from the ground. There have been times that I almost passed one by but then I turned around and picked it up. I guess I always think of my roots when I see money like that. I think of how much one penny would have meant to my grandfather. I think of the candy I bought as a child with only one penny. Somehow, passing up a penny makes me feel that I've somehow become too high and mighty to see the importnace of a penny and how those pennies make dollars. Plus, I always seem to have something good happen after I pick up a penny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchurchi Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Like others, only if the head is up. I will walk a large path away from a penny with the tail up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missyk Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 LOL @ Val...maybe you SHOULD bend down and pick it up???? LOL I usually do if it's heads-up...but it all just reminds me of Mom who taught me not only to pick up the "lucky penny"...but to NEVER, NEVER, NEVER leave a "win" on a slot machine!!! LOLLLLL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyn Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 i always pick up a penny... i believe they are "pennies from heaven" and they are a loved ones way of letting you know they are close by... I have to say - I have found pennies in some pretty weird places since Daddy passed, so now more than ever, I always pick them up.... and smile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggiegirl62 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Absolutely! I don't care if it is heads or tails. By the time I could see which side was up, I would already be bent down, so I may as well go for it. Furthermore, if I am with someone, it is good luck for both the giver and recipient to give the penny to a companion. My mom keeps the pennies given to her in a separate pile. I just spend them.
