Two guys sitting on a bench notice a very well dressed, obviously wealthy man walking down the sidewalk when he bends over to pick up a penny. The first guys says to the second...."Now why would that guy ever need to pick up a penny? He obviously doesn't need it." To which the second guy replies..."Maybe that's how he got rich in the first place!"
I pretty much always pick them up. My pocket change goes into a big bowl, and once every couple of years, I wrap up the coin and take it to the bank. Most times, I end up with $100+ which I go and buy myself something I've been wanting, but was leery of spending the cash.
