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.

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

I still load up on them at the self-checkout stands at Walmart. I save them up in a little Ziploc baggie at home and toss them in a wishing well at work with my daughters. It’s their little ‘wishing fund.’

Only a penny is willing to create thought for a wish @Dreambiscuit

I don’t find any at gas stations, but I do find them at work sometimes.

I mean I prefer cash over pennies. I guess that leave plenty of pennies for ya cause I’m not taking em

I heard the senior citizens are hoarding the pennies in fear of them going away  I doubt they'd go away anytime soon!

Do you give them to management or the customer service desk?  Cuz that's what I have to do when I find them on the job.

Used to find so many coins in my old job as a car valet at a rental place, all kinds of goodies you find whilst cleaning rental cars.  Nowadays I might find coins in the vending machines, and it's finders keepers.
