Pennies

Ok, so uh... how many pennies have you picked up from underneath any gas station chip stands? I've picked up 83 from under gas station chip stands.

Walking in the neighborhood, I've picked up plenty of pennies.  Some minted in 2016 with the different back designs.  Sad these coins are extinct

We still make pennies here  and I will pick the up here and there....

Not sure, at least 3? I don't go into gas stations very often. I find plenty at grocery store checkouts. Did well years back at the self checkout of a grocery store in a more uppity neighborhood. It was very common for people to just leave their change so I'd go check all them. Came away with almost $2 once.

I misheard or misinterpreted that finding a penny gives you good luck, and thought it required the extra step of putting it in your shoe. I might not have had any pickets or something, ai don't know. Thing is, I wasn't taking them out, and I'm pretty good at finding loose change, so it sounded like I was wearing spurs! 

Until my cousin's "found" it. I was upset, but my toes were getting a bit crowded.

When I was a kid I sometimes used to look under shelves, counters, and stuff for pennies, in some nasty and very dirty places too! And I found a decent amount of change and stuff, even a few rare wheatback pennies! But I stopped by the time I became a teen and haven't done it since, probably something to do with awareness of how dirty and nasty it was to get on the floor and reach under objects just to get a few cents.

I used to work at a gas station and no one wanted pennies, and I like coins, so... I think hundreds? I used to have a penny for every year since the 1940s, including the ones made out of steel! and all the ones with the alt art from a few years ago too. I still carry a found wheat penny in my purse because I believe those are lucky if you find them in the wild. I haven't looked at my coins in a long time though, so I don't remember what all I still have... I do know that I had some 1800s pennies with native americans on them, I thought they were from another country when I first found them!

Found a penny on the parking lot of the eye doctor's office, but I didn't pick it up
