What's the smallest amount of money you'll humble yourself to pick up off the street?

One red cent.

I didn't get rich by ignoring the pennies.

One strawpenny

A penny if it is on heads.

Don't judge me.

I once had a black dude insult me in the mall of Louisiana because I stepped over a $20 bill rather than lean down to pick it up. I was like 14 he was probably 60

I'd chase a $20 in a stiff breeze halfway across the parking lot at 45

Lot of words to say “my daddy was rich, so I didn’t have to pick up money”

Another question, how high do you go? What goes in your pocket without any concern of finding an owner? I say hundred bucks and less.

When I was a teenager, I drove over a $20 bill off Florida Blvd on the way to my part-time job. I thought to myself, no way, and reversed back over it. Sure enough. $20, just lying in the road. I felt really bad for the owner. $20 was a lot to me, so I figured it was a lot for someone else. Of course, there was no practical way to find the owner. I held on to the $20, for one to two weeks, resolved to find a way to at least donate the money to a good cause/person. Eventually, I just thought frick it, why am I spending so much thought and energy on donating a lost $20 bill?

Quite the opposite.

I simply knew it wasn't mine and maybe the actual person it was for would come back for it.
