Business & Finance Would you bother picking up a 5 cent coin?

[Reynolds Number]

If 5 cents short of a drink from a vending machine that has no card payment yes.

Yep!! Either those dollars Or I stay in bed.

I probably wouldn't unless I'd dropped it, but whether it's 5c, 10c or any other denomination as soon as I had it in my pocket I'd be looking forward to depositing it into my coin jar. Coins are just annoying.

 

[Toump Ass]

****ing oath I'd pick up 5 cents. I've killed people for less.

I've still got a couple Z$5 notes, they're literally not worth the paper that they're printed on.

 

[chugginon]

Yes, for any coin And 5 cent coins are good as around my area people are asked to put them in jars around locations for charities

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Lift with your legs, not with your back. This isn't my first rodeo.

With my knees? I don't think so.

 

[FootyJunkie]

6 cent coin, yes

 

[Billy ray]

i probably would now. all adds up

 

[Purple7x08_24]

For the sheer number of times you will find 5c on the ground, it's hardly worth the effort

I rationalized this question a while ago with respect to getting 5c on a sale.

If I made 3 sales a day with a return of 5c over 10 years, I'll have 4k in the bank. In this case it might be worth it, but for the effort and depreciation of that 5c year by year. What's it really worth to you?

I like to glue 50c coins to the footpath with liquid nails.

Usually get at least a week or 2 out of it until some desperate and patient kid decides to chisel it off with something.

We did this outside the bar up at the beach, was quite funny sitting there having a beer watching people try and get it. (This was a $2 coin though, big investment but worth it)

 

[PT Bar None]

I don't think I've seen a coin on a footpath (glued or otherwise) in my 'hood, ever.

Of course, given where I live, if you were to drop a coin there's a fair chance it would hit the back of a junkie's head.

I think they are going to stop using them i heard on radio

I used to use gold ones at the start but imo 50c is the best. Reason being having the largest surface area means it has the maximum adhesion. Plus whilst it's worth enough that a few people will try and pick it up it's no so much that it's less likely that determined children will go to the effort of chiselling it away.
