Hypothetical question.

If you were a multi millionaire and were walking along a quiet street and saw a pound coin on the pavement, would you bother to pick it up?

If not, why not?

You don't get to be a multi-millionaire by not picking up free money when you can!

I'm not quite a multi millionaire, but I certainly can happily afford to ignore a pound. But I wouldn't. I found a quid in the gym locker today that the previous user had forgotten to take with them, and I was chuffed!

Not me but I know a few who are. And yes, I'd still pick up a pound even if I was.

Isn't it lucky to find a coin, especially a pound ?

No so lucky to find one in my pocket, given as change , as I am in New Zealand.

Not hard up at all, would pick up 5p upwards

Often find it in the self service tills in supermarkets, will always chuck it in to get a few pence if my bill

I left a 50p the other day, although I turned it over so the Queen's head was upwards.

I think I would. I currently pick up any dropped money. Never know when it's going to come in handy.

Its how they got to be rich in the first place!
