If it’s currency I have no shame in picking it up.

Penny, but only because I found 6-7 wheat pennies in the alley behind my office last year.
It is a small town dead end grass alley. I wonder if there is some horde of wheat pennies underground and the rains pop a few out every so often.

Richest guy I know picks up free stuff on the side of the road still. Kind of a hoarder
. Bargain shops everything.
He didn't get rich buy blowing his wad or not picking up pennies.

Had a friend who was staring at the piss trough when I went into the men's room. Asked him what he was doing and he pointed to a shiny quarter sitting at the bottom of the trough. I asked if he was considering putting his hand into a piss trough to get one measley quarter
Sounds like a good social experiment. Keep upping the currency to see how much/little it would take for people to put their hand in a piss trough or shitty commode.
This thread is starting to make me think of this guy:

Does this make one poor??
If so, it would explain A LOT.

As a gainfully employed professional today, I still wouldn't step over a 20 spot--much less as a young teenager. There must've been another reason you didn't pick it up, no?

When my son was 5 or 6 years old, he found a one hundred dollar bill in a K-Mart.
Instantly, the devil showed up on one shoulder, the angel on the other.
Angel: This is a good time to teach your son about honesty.
Devil: Put the hundred in your pocket, give the clerk at the return desk a five. He's five years old, He doesn't know and the clerk is just going to put it into her pocket.
Angel: You are now messing with karma. In the future your sleep will be disturbed in the middle of the night.
Devil: It's a hundred bucks and the clerk is probably going to steal it anyways.
Angel: Do the right thing.
I was a Boy Scout leader for years. This made for good campfire discussion.
