If you see money lying on the street...will you bend down and pick it up?

Will you pick up a penny? Or does it have to be larger like a nickel,quarter,dollar,five dollars,10 dollars? I'm interested in finding out how people in different countries value money.

I'll usually pick up any sort of money I see on the ground. It doesn't really matter what it is, if I see it, I pick it up. Sometimes I don't care whatever is on the ground, sometimes I'm just not in the mood to bend down and get it so I leave it there. Someone else will probably benefit from it more than I would.

I only pick up bills, maybe quarters. I'm usually in a rush, and to stop to pick up some change would be a waste. Besides that, it would also stall whatever strangers are walking behind me; abruptly stopping in the middle of the busy sidewalk is rude to the people walking behind you. The street is also extremely dirty, so I'd prefer not to touch it.

I'm a loser. I pick up any sort of money off the ground. Got lucky one time and found 10. I like saving the change though. It all works out in the end.

For me, I am yet to be so lucky to see $$$ lying around. If I see one, whethter if it is a penny or dollar. I will pick it up. If the $$$ is too huge, I will turn it to the police as it maybe from someone that lost it and urgently need it.

I would pick up a penny because it is suspossed to be lucky! The most I have ever found was $100 just lying around. My son seems to have a lot of luck in finding money.
