Who here picks up money on the street?

Oh I'm sure you will... And don't bother about others... Yes, they're jealous of you, which is why they give such a look... LOL.. You're right, they might feel that they should have got it... Good Luck... Your nick name is nice too... Take care....

Hi, I don't see anything wrong with it either but you know some people give strange looks as if there is, maybe they are jealous I found it and not them who knows! :D I'm getting there with it, I hope to have $50 by the end of the year :D

Oh thank you or liking my nickname :D I think people get too jealous of others a lot which is a shame. If they were just happy for people then good things will come to them too. So I'll just keep finding coins and collecting til I reach the end of the year and see how much I got :D Take care :)

Oh, it is really good when you can do like that...phew...money never stays with me for long...

It's like that for a lot of people, just need some disipline that's all. I like to day dream of all the nice things I'd like to have or go to for a holiday so I stash it and don't touch it :D

It's a shame but if you are going shopping or to a restaurant or anywhere just have a look you never know :) Haha I like to save up all my money, I've always been good at it since I was little :)

Thinking about it, I made this wrong assumption before that I hope anyone who gets to read this takes into consideration. When I was still studying in the University, it was one of those days when I was on my way and almost late. When I got to the entrance of our college building, a saw a hundred peso bill by the gutter. As I mentioned in my post before that I have grown to habituate whenever I get to pick up money, I raised it up so that anyone can see that I have found money and if anyone who is looking for it sees me raising his or her lost money, they would simply approach me and ask for it. When I did that, nobody was around so it probably fell off some student who was on her way to class perhaps. By the time classes were over, I was sharing this story to another classmate of mine and we were in the library. I was really amazed with the stroke of luck that came to me while my classmate was a bit skeptical. As we were walking in the library in the Humanities section, I again found another hundred peso bill. So that would be two bills in one day. Somehow it made me worry so I with the suggestion from another classmate, I gave it to her and she went to the lost and found. Yet she came back, still with the hundred peso bill that I found and said that the person who was at the Lost and Found said that anyone can simply claim it for one wouldn't really write their names on any bill if ever they lose it. In short, we should just enjoy it with a nice lunch perhaps. Still, it got me worried. A few day passed and I was on my way home and it was raining. When I got home, I realized that my phone slipped out of my pocket. Now, I don't mean that every luck, as others could put it, has a price. I thought like that before in that situation wherein I got worried that being too 'lucky' has it's price. Apparently, it was my fault to worry and doubt the luck that I have received in that incident and because of this doubt, I eventually fulfilled the worry that I myself caused. So, I just felt like sharing ('_^ ) and want to point out, do not ever doubt!

Wow another great story there. You are super honest that way but there are so many dishonest people that will come and say that they lost that 100 pesos. The person from lost and found is correct, at least they were also an honest person for not just taking the money for themselves. I do think as well like you said, you had doubts on your luck that you lost your phone. I think if you just thought you were a really lucky person and kept thinking that it would have all been OK. But it's still amazing that you found 2 bills in one day. Super lucky! ^-^

Wow great story! When I find notes when I'm out with someone I treat them to a coffee or something to celebrate our luck. It's been a few minths since that last happened though. If it's just coins I put it in my pocket and then straight to the piggy bank. I think ou have a great outlook on it and it was nice of you to share it with your work friends. I also think/believe that for someone to say they wish they had found it seems a little negative, they should be happy for you to have found it and to have shared something with them :) Yes just keep aware and look and you should find some, good luck :)

I would use my foot to some how get it into a better position to get it by my hands.

Haha very good. What I mean by looking stupid is say going on your hands and knees to get a coin from under a counter that you've seen. I've seen them but it would look stupid if I did it :D

Oh that is fantastic! I bet that you were very proud presenting her with the money, and that was a lot of money, especially for a child to find! It is great that she spent some on you, and I bet that made you feel even more special. Sometimes it is the little things that we do that can be the best memories that we have, especially when they are doing something special with a loved one. Of course, if I saw a $20 bill under a counter as an adult, I wouldn't care how silly I looked crawling under there to get it!

Well it certainly stuck in my memory, I was very proud of myself, I felt I was useful for finding it :) Haahaaa that would be so funny, you could just say you dropped it under there but I'm sure you'd still get some strange looks. Maybe this is one of the reasons to have children! :D

True, if I had a little one I'd do the same thing. And it doesn't look as silly if they crawl under counters :D When I was really little I found $20 in the supermarket, I crawled under the counter and grabbed it. My mum had no idea what I was doing until I gave it to her, I was so pleased with myself. She of course spent some on me :)

Hi, I think it's to do with luck but also being aware of your surroundings. I think most people when they are walking wander off into lala land and don't take notice of things. When I walk I also look where I'm walking, I never step in dog poo because I pay attention :D

you are right, maybe i need to pay more attention to my surroundings especially when i walk!

Absolutely and if not for the money then do it for the poop that you will start avoiding and not step in! :D

I probably would try, too!

Me too! It's a fun game to see how much I can find in a day. Yeah stopping traffic for 5 cents isn't the best idea :D I was also thinking when you see money under counters and you have to go on hand and kneew to grab it too. I probably would try and be discreet if it was a note though :D

Yeah it's something fun and experimental as I'm curious about how much people lose in the street. Wish they'd lose a little more though for me to find :P

Well I don't go picking up money on the busy roads just the footpath! :D But yeah people just drop money and I'm sure a lot is lost everyday, so I may as well collect it and see how much I can save up until the end of the year :D

I know I think they do throw them away for sure or can't be bothered picking them up. That's good for me I hope they do it more often :D It's good that you pick them up too, even the smallest amounts can add up, I don't think people realise this or maybe they just don't care :)

Haahaa yeah people over there just toss those pennies our their car windows I'm sure of it but if you keep collecting your bound to get a few $ out of it. Luckily here our smallest currency is 5 cents and people don't want those either so I pick them up

Haahaa some do that here too and I'm the stupid one that attempts it sometimes. My friends kids glued a coin right outside the front door, I tried to pick it up HAHA! They should drop more coins for you to find! When I went to Scotland I found 10 pence at the airport parking lot, but that was it for me :)

Hi, You know I used to feel the same but really who is going to remember you after you pick up a coin. They will forget you in a minute and not give it a second thought. I don't care what people think if I find a coin I'll just pick it up. What I won't do though is go on my harnd and knees under counters to pick them up, that is embarrassing :D

Wow super lucky! The best I've done are 20's. I would love to find $100 one day that would be awesome. Congrats :D

Wow that's very cool. You will have a lot of jars I suspect. My great grandparents used to bury their jars in the backyard so if they were ever robbed they would still have money :D

Agreed. I have now $4 or $5 that I wouldn't have had if I didn't pick up coins :)

Maybe they do, I seem to find coins often though, I suspect people are not paying attention to where they are walking and that's why they miss them. But that's good that you do it too :)

I think so too, money is money after all :)

Me too, every coin I pick up is good luck to me :) And I'm in the same position where I don't have much money so finding and collecting them will be a help :)

That's what I think too, it's money I didn't have so now I have more :) The best I've done are 20's about 2 or 3 times. When I went to the US I found a note folded up, to me they all look the same folded so I thought it was only a $1 bill but I was happy to see it was $10 :D
