I'd pick it up if it is in front of me. I'm not going into the grass or anything for a penny. 4times a year I exchange for bills. I get about $150 each time but I have a lot of quarters. I make the cashier break dollars so I can get the change. Weird but I like seeing it pile up. I used to do coinstar but just stopped because I was giving away money for convenience. 10%. That's about $60 a year to coinstar at $150 every three months. I know this lady who only saved quarters and filled up a water jug. I think she got $5,000 and bought a car.
