How much would you bother to pick up?

I picked up a 20p coin up off the pavement yesterday, but I had to think twice whether to. I probably would not have bothered for anything less. I then wondered do other people have a lower limit.

    Once found a tenner walking the dog. That's my upper limit.

    If see it I pick it up. There are always charity boxes to put it in.

    More unfortunate than living up north??
  • I don't even pick up my change off the counter in the newsagent if it is less than a pony.
  • I can half remember a rhyme, 'see a penny pick it up..... can't remember the rest!

  • Cracking thread. Family-friendly (on the most part) and has provoked some fantastic debate.

    Me, I'd pick only up 50p or more. If you bother with any less than that you are clearly scum.

    I used to sit at the front of the East stand. Walking up the steps after a game, a young lad (18 ish) and I both spotted a £20 note on a step in front of us.

    We knew we had both seen it and shot each other a glance. The lad told me how he was skint as he'd done his bollocks at the bookies.

    Being a charitable soul (mug) - I told him to pick it up.

    He thanked me and picked it up with a smile.

    He then pulled apart two £20 notes, smiled even more and stuffed both of them in his pocket and strolled off!

    I was so gobsmacked that he hadn't split the forty quid I didn't even give him any abuse.

    Wasn't Jesper Carrot was it?

    That event might have inspired a new TV show

    It can't have been.

    I think it would be impossible not to give Jasper Carrot abuse.

    Spare a thought for @colthe3rd‌ he's made a decent reference there and no ones having any of it. Tough crowd

    a quid - but I kick it first to make sure no one is playing the 'glue the pound to the floor' trick.

    We used to shout "Jew rush" if anyone dropped money. Not saying it was right or funny just stating fact.

    I was at school with Dave Whelan and we used to shout, 'The Jews love to pick up money. They love it. But non-Jews do too. We all love to pick up money.'
