Luckily I’m not yet of that age; I still happen to pick up coins lying around on the asphalt and pavement.
If they were the Canadian plated steel coins a magnet on a stick is all she would need.
I’d say bend at the knees but that might be more treacherous than just bending over. I’ve got a knee that’s ‘iffy’ at times.
When I see a coin, I tend to leave it for kids to find. I remember how happy my kids were finding a coin, and would rather let a kid be that happy.
actually I too have to decide if something is worth trying to bend down to get or let some one else get it for me….
I’m in that boat, but I believe the fact that a Plugger is willing to pick up found money is a major point. ‘A penny saved is a penny earned’!
At 74 I’ll pick up any coin. Kids around here won’t. Too cool.
Whether or not I pick up a coin depends more on how fast the dogs are going.
I once watched someone drop a coin at the bus stop. He said that it was too small to worry about. I then mentioned that one day he might be that much short of the price of a beer….. he bent down and retrieved it!
I’ll pick up any coin, unless it’s a tails-up penny.
I have said for years that you’re not Old until it’s too much work to pick up a penny.
My best monetary find was a $20 bill. I damn sure picked that up
Ima not pickin up anything aint foldin.
