Question: A penny is on the ground, tail-side up. Do you pick it up? Or leave it to curse another victim?

I leave it on the ground.

8/26/2011 9:50:33 AM

Depends how lazy I'm feeling.

I never understood how finding free money was a curse.

8/26/2011 9:51:17 AM

I throw all my pennies on the ground so you poor people can fret over this type of decision.

8/26/2011 9:58:44 AM

Whenever I see a penny tail-side up, I wonder how many people see it and pass it by because it's unlucky.

And how many pass it by because it's worthless.

And how many pick it up.

the opportunity cost for picking up a penny is > $0.01, therefore i do not do it.

The penny should cease to exist. Any unit of currency that cannot be exchanged for a single good on the marketplace has no function.

i like flicking pennies, a good flick can bruise someone

penis mightier?

Tail side up is unlucky?

8/26/2011 10:58:48 AM

I always heard if it's tails up you give it to the first person you see and you both have luck. Definitely pick it up. Good karma all around for trying!

"find a penny, pick it up, all the day you'll have good luck"

no specification for heads or tails up

i'm pretty sure office max had notebooks for a penny recently.

8/26/2011 12:21:52 PM

I'll usually kick it in hopes of it flipping over.

If I kick a penny and it makes a butterfly flap it's wings, does a earthquake happen in Washington, DC

I call bullshit. My cousin told me that her friend's sister knew someone whose roommate picked up a coin tails up and gave it to his co-worker who later died from a heart attack.

Definitely bad karma to pass a bad luck penny on.

You never know, maybe him dying was a good thing.
