SURVEY SAYS: What would the total have to be for you to pick up change?

One day, while taking my Dad back home from a medical appointment, I suddenly stopped in the middle of the street and got out of my vehicle (note, in the very small town where he lived, there was no traffic). I had seen a $5 bill on the street, and got out to pick it up. My Dad’s comment was, “Wow, babe, are you that desperate for money?”

It wasn’t that I was desperate for money, but that $5 was a significant enough amount to me to not pass up. On the other hand, I also pick up pennies that are heads up, even though I’m not really superstitious.

This week, I’d like to know, if you saw change (not dollars) on the street, sidewalk, etc., how much would it have to be for you to pick it up?
