50c

[ManWithNoName]

Leave it in case some muppet has glued it to the ground and is watching from a distance pissing himself laughing as people fail to get it off the ground!

It is usually a $2 coin though in this instance!

You just subtly nudge it with your foot as you walk up to it to check if this is the case without looking like an idiot.

Could of been chewed by a guy with Ebola.

Yes...

Happened to me, once. I was up in Queensland, lurching along the Queens Street Mall after a hard night on the tiles in Brisvegas when I saw fifty cents on the ground. I nearly fell over trying to pick it up, and as I did so a shadow fell across me. All of the sudden this huge creature, this giant crustacean from the Paleolithic Era, comes out of nowhere and says 'Goddamn it, dat fiddy part of my tree fiddy you bastard!"

F*cked if I knew what to do next. My mind was gone.

 

[JUBJUB]

Pick it up and I head straight to the closest 7-Eleven.

What the heck can you get in a 7/11 for 50 cents ?

 

[Northworth]

I'd pick it ups

 

[chunkylover]

Pick it up, put in my punting kitty, donate it to some foreign owned bookmaker on Saturday

 

[Engimal]

Get ****ing real if you say you wouldn't pick it up. 50c is half a dollar.

 

[WCErevival]

Leave it. Hate having loose change as it is.

 

[04 Durif]

Leave it for a little kid to find, they'll get a bigger kick out of it than you.

Kick a kid out if the way to get it. I'll spend it heaps better than them

 

[Gibbsy]

Wouldn't pick up any coins

 

[Dan]

Wouldn't pick up any coins

How many would have to be on the ground for you to be interested?

 

[Gibbsy]

How many would have to be on the ground for you to be interested?

Haha good call. I didn't think of more than one. Maybe anything more than $5 in total?

 

[Hudu Gurusingha]

Point at it, laugh and say out loud "hahaha - a poor man's currency, I deal in green bills".

No but seriously, 50c are clunky, heavy, big pains in the arse. I hate doing a George Castanza and walk around with a bulky wallet so the 50c are usually the first to go into the change jar before I go out. So, Id probably leave it.

 

[Plugger35]

Back when I was a kid I'd swoop on 50 cents as you'd get a shitload of mixed lollies for that, these days I'd only go out of my way for a gold coin.

 

[stmookeyj]

If it was 10 or 5 cents I'd leave it, anything higher and it's thanks for the donation. If however I saw who dropped the coin id probably return it.

 

[HBF]

If you see 50c on the ground in a public place, do you pick it up or leave it?

Unless it's gold I leave it where it is.

 

[Piss Poor]

Find $50 in the aisle of a supermarket, what do you do?

Leave it, don't want to fill up my wallet with too many notes, weighs me down.

 

[Kram]

Leave it for a little kid to find, they'll get a bigger kick out of it than you.

Not unless it's one of mine that I've glued to the footpath with liquid nails for laugh.

 

[MrNatural]

Found $50 at a Collins St 7/11 once at the ATM machine. Gave it to the bloke working and told him where I had found it. Probably pocketed it himself, but my conscience was clear.

I found $50 in an ATM once... kept it

 

[JD11]

I refuse to answer this pointed question. Who the hell are you to make insinuations about my character?

 

[Catfish Alley]

2 quarters, sure. Not 50c though. Too huge and annoying.

 

[ioppolo]

Pick it up and head to the nearest Maccas

 

[JuddsABlue]

Pick it up and head to the nearest Maccas

this thread makes me believe theres a who subspecies out there who only buy mcdonalds with found money, and if they actually desire mcdonalds but cant find any money in the dirt, they wont actually get some using their own money

 

[radiojake]

Definately pick up all gold coins I find..

I'd probably pick up 50c too, althought I don't think I've come across that many 50c coins.. maybe too big to lose?

Would leae 5c/10c/20c alone I think though, unless there were enough of them to equal 50c or more

This happened to me. $2 coin on Nicholson St - Infact if was a couple of $2 coins. I was thinking 'Jackpot' - They were glued - I had a chuckle at first thinking about the prank that I'd been done with.

But then when I realised it was directly out the front of the Indigenous Healthcare Centre, I felt like the prank was a little more sinister... and I wasn't chuckling as much... Feel like I wasn't the intended target of the prank...

 

[Feerits Elf]

Kick it.
