yeah, you don't get many of them in England

Why not?

Are you saying you won't eat a brown M&M?

I know they're not as cool as the green, "home run" M&M's, but that brown one offering the delicate squishiness of vagina just can't be passed up. *shrug*

I then casually went in the store and came back out a few minutes later and just watched as person after person tried to pick up the coin, get frustrated, then leave.

I watched for about an hour then went home. I came back the next day with a friend and we watched some more (god damn it, we were bored as fuck ok?). For some reason it was one of the most entertaining things to watch. Finally after about two hours (we went and ate some lunch and came back) some asshole with some steel-toed boots kicked and kicked at the coin until it came undone and picked it up. I still hate that guy. :(

That said, hell yes I would try to pick it up. The only thing I won?t pick up is a penny because pennies are forbidden in the Archiot religion. Anything brown is.

This reminds me of that phrase that went around; how it wasn't worth Bill Gate's time to spend the seconds to pick up a dollar he saw while walking down the street, or something...

Also reminds me of my last road trip with the wife... We stopped at a gas station and she spied a toy car. Picked it up and said "Look what I found!". She showed it to me then threw it back on the pavement.

I think it was the moment of finding "something" that made her pick it up, all happy she was, in the middle of bumb-fuck-Egypt, that made the moment special. The realization of it being just a toy car and adding unnecessary clutter to life, I think, made her throw it back.

A dime, on the other hand, can be thrown in a coin jar and eventually cashed in.... So yea, I'd pick up the dime.

Polish's question reminds me of a very BASIC economics class scenario: Is it worth Bill Gates' time to pick up a $100 bill?

If you apply the principles of COST/BENEFIT analysis and OPPORTUNITY COSTS, the answer normally is NO. Why? Assuming that Bill Gates makes TENS OF THOUSANDS an hour (or more) just by helping to manage his company, the cost of picking up a $100 bill would be in the thousands of dollars. His benefit would be $100. In this case, he shouldn't pick up the bill. The same analysis applies for Opportunity costs. If the REPLACEMENT activity for making thousands of bucks yields only $100, then the activity shouldn't be replaced.

A critique of this economics analysis is that people aren't ALWAYS rational..... meaning, due to their emotional nature or maybe cultural or group dynamics, they don't always make the most rational decisions.

Anyway, just doing a little brain dump off an interesting thread...r

anything under a buck, no. and even then if it looks filth encrusted, no.

vj69 04-15-2007 01:48 PM
I don't pick up pennies but anything bigger, yes.

After Shock Media 04-15-2007 02:49 PM
Yes I would.

When I was thirteen I picked up a 1909 S VDB penny, that really made my year. I still have that coin, even though it is only in VG condition.

Now the odds of that ever happening again are beyond remote, it still would not stop me. When I found that penny it was on a busy sidewalk and several people if not hundreds must of passed it over.

After Shock Media 04-15-2007 02:54 PM
bad board.....

Barefootsies 04-15-2007 04:07 PM
No I would not.


:2 cents:

gecko 04-15-2007 10:37 PM
Yes.. they're good luck :)

Of course, 1 dime is 3 months worth of interest on a dollar.

wyldworx 04-15-2007 11:10 PM
my new custom is to pick up the 10c and replace it with a $1 coin.

shahab6 04-15-2007 11:22 PM
I only pick up paper money, not change.

I put my finger in the coin return of payphones when I walk by them.
