I saw a penny on the pavement of a parking lot next to the post office, and picked it up and put it in my pocket. I was taught to do so as a child. It was part of thrift.
But I can recall getting into a big debate on a discussion board with a woman who was the daughter of a doctor. She was carefully taught not to pick up coins lest she pick up germs and bacteria on the coins.
So what do you do? And why?
And does the denomination of the coin matter? Yes, for dimes, but no for pennies?
