From that point on, every penny I saw was picked up and a thank you sent out to him. The first year after he passed, there were several times I really wished he were with me (I was traveling the US by motorcycle) and several times a penny would pop up just afterwards.Donna B.

We noticed that, during certain religious festivals, the residents leave coins in the rock pools on the beach where it remains until the tide takes it out to sea. Out of respect for their beliefs we also refrain from picking up any coins. www.hesterleynel.co.zaHester Ley Nelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09186485435382105297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6963015679650968932.post-26493639699818566142018-04-18T09:22:37.407-04:002018-04-18T09:22:37.407-04:00He certainly found a lot of pennies from Eleanor o...He certainly found a lot of pennies from Eleanor over the years! I also pick pennies up when I see them. I try to keep four in my purse so I can count them out at the checkout counter, unlike DC. :) There is only one store in town that regularly uses pennies anymore so I spend them there. Everyone else rounds up or down to the nearest 5 cents.<br /><br />Emily In Ecuador | <a href="https://emilbloo.blogspot.com/2018/04/palo-santo-products-made-in-puerto.html" rel="nofollow">Palo Santo Products Made in Puerto Lopez, Ecuador</a>Emily in Ecuadorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046387339831440902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6963015679650968932.post-91860369814389883042018-04-18T06:33:15.561-04:002018-04-18T06:33:15.561-04:00Donna, I'm old enough to remember when that pe...Donna, I'm old enough to remember when that penny would buy candy, so I still stoop over and pick them up. They go, along with the other excess coins, into coffee cans. I then cash them at the bank or Publix's coin machine at Christmas time. Other excess coins? Well, I'm a little old man, not a little old lady. Thus, I don't stand at the checkout counter counting out change one coin at a time.DChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01248713708951896415noreply@blogger.com
