Do you take the money/coins found lying on the road?

I always do that most of the time. Yes, it's true. To earn is really a hard thing to do. We need money for our basic needs right? Probably, I do not let the opportunity to get those coins which would be useful in some other way soon. I don't care what would other people say. In fact I'm not doing wrong, I just have to save them for the future. True it's not that much but when you put them together it could possibly be much to share with other people or invest for extra income.

Keep it. If there is no way to return it to the proper owner, then Finders keepers is the rule.

I find it very rarely. If i found any coins further i'll give'em to beggars ok? Thanx for the topic Nitin

I take the money, yes. But usually i give it to other people who needs it more. Like you, giving it to beggars or giving to poor kids that playing on the street. I don't know if I encounter with big bucks of money...LOL. Maybe I'll be not too good in giving it to beggars.

I do because it is supposed to be lucky. I just stick them in my pocket and use them as I would any other coin. It is my youngest who is really lucky. He is always spotting money and it is often bills, not coins. It's like he has some sort of built in radar. Or he just walks slower than the rest of us!

if i found pennies on the road i'd leave them.But if it was notes i'd take it. Who wouldn't ?

Well, it depends on the amount of money. If there's a coin worth less than $0.10 in my county's currency, I don't bother to pick it up. If there's more, I pick it up and use it for my needs. If I find a wallet with more money, and it has some ID of the owner, I try to find its owner and return the money.

Actually, yes I do keep the money. You would be suprised on how fast the money adds up. I am no one bit ashamed about it.

Hello,mdchennai,most of the time i will not pick up the coins as they may always be dirty,i had only seen a ten cents coins on the street once,i did not pick it up because it was near the gutter. The only situation i will pick up the money is when it is not a coin, it is a fifty dollar note.lol.I think i will spend it straight away.

Whenever i see coin on the street, well most of the time i take if for myself because it always happen that i am needing it, but whenever i have enough and i see those coins, i put it on the collection box at the church nearby or if it happens on my way i see a beggar, i give it to them.

yes especially if it's big amount ..haha joke !!i'm just kidding .,^_^ uhmm yes i'll take it if no one claims ,.^^ and i'll find first who owns that money before i take it ..

I have never taken money or coins found lying on the road.I'm not lucky to fing it.Yes,if I can find money or coins lying on the road,I will give it to the beggars.They need help.But one of my dormmates said she prefer to saving the money in her pocket,because the money was given by the God.She believed that money or coins found lying on the road is the gift from God.

Well, if I find some coins on the street, I'll keep it to me. It's not mine, but it's not the beggars too. Why should I give them, knowing that they'll pay drinks later and might end up dying? I prefer to spend it myself, at least I know I'll make good use of it. If I take... Well, if they are just coins, I can save it. I can buy bubble gums, or something like that. You know, cheap stuff.

Wow,congrats ismail...i think u will get more money soon from the mylot.All the best..i am getting very less amount.Because i am not updating regularly and posting the discussion..lets see.

me too I do the same thing what you are doing it is usual if I get huge money like 100,50 then I use it for my self because no one can give 100 or 50 to beggers

Yes I pick it up then put it inside the coin bank... In time, I give it to the kids singing on christamas eve... I was raised by mother with the thought that the coin you will find lying in the street is as important as 100 peso...You should know to give importance no matter how small the value is... In time... if you put them together you can use t for something...

Honestly, I rarely see coins/money on the road - maybe the people in my place are extra careful of their money because of the great snatcher population here in Gen San. LOL But if in the event that I see any coin/money on the road, my decision would greatly depend on the situation that I am under. If I see a coin, I might take it for myself or I might give it to a beggar (but there are few beggars around major streets of GenSan). If I see something of great value, I really wouldnt know what to do. Reporting the event would be much of a hassle but making the money stay in my hands would be bothersome. Maybe this discussion would be perfect for me to gather some advise - that might happen to me in the near future.

Hello Ismail Well yes I have seen many times notes/ coins on the road .. if it is a big amount .. then I take it .. but if it's a small amount then who cares .. but after growing old I don't take the money from the road .. even I don't see any note or coin lolzz.. may be when I was a child I had a habit to look down .. now I always look upwards :)

Yes I do, infact I have found it many a times but I'll not like to spend it rather I'll keep it as my lucky charm...Though I give separate money to beggers if I wish to give them...

I definitely collect money lying on the ground! Whenever I see change lying in the street or in the parking lot, sometimes I feel embarrassed because I get excited and even go out of my way to pick it up. All that loose change can add up after a while! I don't live in a place where there are many homeless people asking for money, but whenever I have gone to the city and seen someone asking for change, I have made sure to give some to him or her. I love collecting money for myself, but those people do need it more than I do...
