Struggling to get through another grueling session on the elliptical machine at the YM, I look down in exhaus-tion and spot something shiny on the floor. Squinting, I realize it is a dime.
As you probably guessed, I did not interrupt my workout to pick it up. I also didn’t pick it up after my workout and didn’t point it out to the woman vacuuming near the elliptical. I was about to and then I figured I would be insulting her by suggesting she needed the dime.
Later I recalled that when I was a young child I would have stopped to pick up a penny. Has the value of money changed that much since I was young? This makes me feel old even though I’m relatively young for my age. I’m not sure I would have stopped my workout to pick up a quarter. This bothers me. Have I forgotten the value of money? Perhaps my family spends so much so quickly that I’ve become jaded. Picking up every piece of loose change from here to California wouldn’t even cover their fast food purchases for a month.
Let me know what you think. Please share with us the amount of money that would make you bend over and the last time you picked up money off the ground.

I like the old wives' tale of finding a penny bringing good luck so I have picked up pennies from the ground for that reason.
I picked-up a $1 silver certificate about fourteen months ago.
However, If I drop-it, I’ll retrieve even one cent.
