Penny Pincher

I'm here to start a revolution; a penny revolution! The next time you are walking down the street and you see a poor lonely penny just laying there on that abandoned patch of sidewalk; stop and pick it up. Believe me you won't regret it.
I know what you're thinking; I don't have time to pick up that worthless piece of metal. Well if you don't have time to, then I will and here are some reasons why:
     1. Those little Lincoln's really add up. If I really stop to think about it, I find at least one penny on the ground a day (sometimes even more on a good day). If I found one everyday for an entire year that's $3.65. That doesn't sound like a substantial amount but that can buy six cans of vegetables or two frozen pizzas or three loaves of bread or five cans of soda out of a vending machine...  In my mind, bending over for that penny is totally worth it.
     2. Pennies are wonderful. Often time I'm out and I have a total purchase of $4.06. Instead of breaking that extra dollar, use some of those trusty pennies. Save the dollar bills!!!
     3. If you're concerned with all that jingling in your pockets, head over to Metro Bank. Even if you're not a bank member you can still get your coins counted for free. Also if you can guess within a dollar of the correct amount you get a prize (great for kids). Did I mention free lollipops in the lobby?

Those may not seem like good reasons to you, but it literally takes five seconds to bend over and pick up a penny. Come on people. Show Lincoln some love!
