Do you pick up change that you see lying around on the floor or do you just keep walking by it?

Yes, usually I do pick up the change in the floor, in my country they say that it is good luck to found money in the floor... lucky pennies!

I think that it is better to pick the change up so that it won't be wasted and ignored on the floor. But I don't have so many chances to find changes for me to pick up, hehe. If I see the changes, for sure I would pick them up however small they are.

I don't pick up change when it is lying arnd.. Only when there's big money lying down, do I bend over and pick it up.. I don't like bending to pick up change.. But usually, here in my place, we don't find anything lying down on the street roads.. Here people are very conservative abt their money...

Yes, I usually pick up change from the ground. I know some people just ignore it cause it's only a coin or something, but I always collect it and keep it in a jar and then roll the coins and deposit them at the bank once I get a lot built up. It doesn't seem like it would be that much, but it definitely adds up over time.

Most of the time, I pick them up. I reason that if I don't, someone else will. But I do not think I can pick up a large amount of money though - maybe around £1000. That needs reporting to the police.
