We'd epoxy coins to the sidewalk and laugh our butts off.
We were mean kids.
Oh....
Dimes were best.
When you were a kid, a dime bought a new house.
When he was a kid it was actually a disme.

My chiropractor says I've made $0.37 so far this year and my treatments have been $400, so I've stopped.
As a public service, I have suspended my activities in this area to hold down Medicare costs.

You have to pick it up thats prime PCGS and othets forum material! Be sure and make a new account and claim its rare and post upside down and out of focus preferably and deny its PMD.
I was leaving the local B&M headed to the bank and two friends were in front of me. The hotter one in tight yoga pants picked up the first coin and her painted-on jeans friend picked up two others. It was the best 3 cents I passed on in a very long time.

I do and I don't. What I mean is this; I always carry a stick with me wherever I go. On one end of the stick there's freshly chewed bubblegum stuck to it. When I see a coin on the ground I smash the end of the stick with the bubblegum attached to it on the coin. I PICK the coin up that way. But I don't have to STOP. I keep walking to the next coin. The only drawback is that the coins are always a little sticky and retain residue from the bubblegum. I take care of that problem with a quick acetone dip. Problem solved. I hope this helped.

If I'm going to risk slipping a disc in my back, copper ain't gonna cut it. I'll stretch for one of these:

I hate when that happens,
I do and I don't. What I mean is this; I always carry a stick with me wherever I go. On one end of the stick there's freshly chewed bubblegum stuck to it.

My dog can pickup a cent on the ground but I just can't do it.
