It seems that every year people drop coins, so many that the total amount reaches around $ 600 millions. That’s a huge number! What do you do when you see a coin on the street? Do you pick it up or you’re just ignoring it? I decided to see how many coins I can find, even if the ones here have a very low value. So far, I found 282 coins after 5 months of doing this 🙂

Do you pick up coins on the street?

Yes

No

I no longer see coins dropped mistakenly but as a child I used to come across them often.
There are still many dropped coins here, but their value is very small. The coins I used to find 30 years ago were 10 times more valuable ?.
You were lucky at those time??though you can collect coins as a hobby
It is one of my hobbies ?. Maybe I’ll get enough coins to fill a room ?.
Hahaha, yah. You’ll have made a big saving and enter Guinness book of record
I find coins very often and I pick them up for happiness. 🙂
Hehe, good for you! Come to think about it, I do feel happy when I pick them up ?.
Yeah,, me too! I’m very happy when I find something, even I don’t need it. Just finding of something makes me happy. I am interesting are there many people that are so happy with so little like I am.
The little things are the ones that make us happy. And if you put some passion in what you do, your life will always be happy ?.
It would be so. The little things make the whole life. And if you’re not satisfied with a little, how can you be satisfied with your life 🙂
I used to more so when I was a child – they were worth a lot more then. I don’t find too many as an adult.
True. Usually I find 3 or more coins every day, but they have a small value. 30 years ago the coins were worth 10 times more.
I keep the coins I found but it seems I find difficulty in spending those.
I just put them in a jar, maybe I’ll use them later. I think about giving them to my son in the future 😀
That is a good amount of coins found.
Hehe, I like picking them up, it’s really fun. Maybe I’ll do something with them later on.
Hmmmmm, you can always donate them to all of us Virilians : )
Well, I’ll think about it 🙂 Maybe I will, hehe
I almost never see them, but a few times I tried to pick up a coin and it was stuck to the ground. I bet it was a funny sight.
Stuck coins, don’t like them. Actually, I saw many coins here nailed to the ground, dunno why. I usually find 3 or 4 coins every day, but they have a small value.
I guess people who like jokes do that to have some fun. It’s usually the biggest coin and that’s why I manage to notice it.
Here they do this with all kind of coins. It’s strange, I can’t understand why they’re doing it. Maybe it’s for fun as you said.
Yes, I do pick up lost coins in the street and put them in a bottle. I never spend them. I save them.
I save them too, I’m curious what I can find and how much I’ll get.
Your post about picking up coins is great + comments are very interesting!!! Also collect coins, unfortunately didn’t find eurocents, but found some 10 rubles coins this summer.
As long as you do it for fun, then it doesn’t really matter what you find 🙂 Thank you for your kind words and good luck to you!
Usually I collect drop coins on the street but don’t collect them specifically let alone count them. Maybe I then put it on the dashboard of the car or in a bowl at home.
Well, I started collecting them because I thought it would be fun. I was right 😀 I don’g know for sure what I’ll do with them, but it doesn’t matter right now 🙂
mostly do it because it is a nice stretch
Who knows, maybe this thing will get me into buying a metal detector and then I’ll go for gold coins 😀
is there a lot of lost treasure in your neck of the woods?
Your post is so great, I like the picture so beautiful. I also have an article if you are interested to welcome you to https://virily.com/other/hello-all-members-on-virily/
Thank you for your kind words. I’ll check your post, of course 🙂
Many people think that the coins are not worth anything but they are wrong … we have a saying: a stone on a stone palace
Nice saying 🙂 Step by step the total value becomes greater. And as I said before, I have lots of fun 😀
If I find him, I will surely pick him up – from respect to money
Something like that 😉 I see many people pick up coins, maybe we should share pictures of what we gathered so far 😀
It would be very interesting – what you find to publish
I do save change and yes I pick it up. It adds up.
Yep, the values are small, but give them time 😀 Plus, it’s a fun hobby 🙂
Pennies are all I ever find!
Once I found a 50 eurocents coin, but I usually find 5 and 10 “bani” coins (10 bani=2,5 cents).
It all adds up eventually.
WOW!!
We have a saying,
If you don’t pick up a coin because you “despise” its value (say a cent) then you’ll never be blessed by the god of fortune and you might not even be granted a single cent in future.
argh stupid me, I haven’t finish typing…
so its wise to pick up coins of any value
but not believe in this “theory” tho
Well, I have no theory, I do it for fun. I wanna get 1000 coins and I’ll think what to do with them later. I don’t intend to spend them 😀
Yeah, everyone have their own “challenges” or “mini fun projects” that is how I see it – I’ve recently just decided to challenge myself to something that may seem unless to others too 😛 It’s as long as it makes you happy or satisfied.
Anyway, I’ve a typo in my previous comment, i meant to type “but not everyone believe in this “theory” tho”… lol
True, true! We all need to find something that we do for fun or with passion. And most of the time, the small things are the ones that do the trick 🙂
I see you found my change!
Seriously though, that is quite the find for that short of time!
He he, got some coins, indeed. Not a big value, but I have fun. Thank you! 😀
