it's your duty as a fucking citizen.
To keep the streets clean? Who knows who handled it last. What if some..whore..crawled out of the backseat of a smelly old chevy after giving some diseased SOB a handjob. While she was trying to count her meager pay with her goopy, needle-tracked hands, a wind caught one of the bills and sent it down the street. Along the way, it got stepped on by a homeless person who had just half-scraped off a steaming, fresh, street-dog turd.

You pick it up.


p.s. cut back on the coffee.
Cut back on the cocaine.

Anyway, it's not keeping the streets clean(though that's good too) it's stopping the destruction of currency, which if you did the dustructing purposefully, you'd go tojail..

(Dollar) Bills, obviously unless it's soaked or covered in something.

Quarters are usually the lowest I go but if I'm feeling like it I might pick up a dimes, but I say no to nickels.

A quid and up I'll pick it up, maybe 50p depending on if I can be arsed to bend over and there aren't maybe people watching.

As for what I've found, the highest I've found has been £5 notes, but I've found 3 of them on 3 separate occasions I think. One of which in one of those waste bins you put receipts in from ATMs, god knows how it ended up there. Another time I don't actually recall clocking it or anything, I just bent down almost as if by instinct and looked at my hand and there was a fiver in it. That was odd.

Some lovely imagery there, but how is picking money up off the street significantly any more filthy than handling it in the first place? Most coins in circulation have gone through at least a decade or two's worth of being passed around by sweaty, unwashed hands and covered in grime and filth, yet people handle them without a second thought.

I have amazing eyesight when it comes to spotting money. I was with my girlfriend once and I was driving I spotted a bill folded up in the street. I slammed on the brakes and threw it in reverse. My GF was yelling asking what the hell I was doing. I got out, picked up a dollar, got back in and showed my girl what I found. She was in awe that I was able to see it.

I found $50 at my soccer presentation day last year. My teammate said it was his and I ended up giving it to him quite reluctantly. He seemed serious enough so I guess it was the right thing to do.

Yeah of course I pick it up, the biggest amount I picked up would be 50 Dollars, but one time I saw a lot of 50 dollar flying around in the air, my brothers and I chased them in our bikes with a net but we did not manage to collect any, it was probably drug money anyway.

I would pick up any amount besides pennies unless i felt compelled to pick it up. Once me and my mom found somewhere around $100ish U.S. We returned it to the owner (Some idiot who had money /hanging out of their purse/...)

You'd have to pick up a penny slightly faster than once every five seconds to even be making federal minimum wage here in the US. That would be a super shitty job, so I figure pennies aren't really worth my time over the long run. Nickles are pretty iffy. I usually skip those. Dimes are probably still worth it, but it's close. I usually pick them up. Quarters or bills are definitely worthwhile, I always grab those.

If I find something $5 or bigger I'll try and pay attention and hand it over if someone happens to mention they lost the same amount, but I won't actually ask around, because obviously somebody will eventually claim it's theirs. That doesn't mean it is.

Free money is good money! *picks up a dime from the carpet*

Reminds me of the prank a barber used to do when I lived in Cape Girardeau... He would glue a couple of quarters to the cement just outside the window where he could see from inside the shop. Jerk would laugh his arse off watching the people try to wrench those puppies up from the sidewalk.
