Penny for your thoughts...

Not an academic question but I was just wondering. Do you pick up a penny if you spot one on the sidewalk?

I do....and I still say the saying," Find a penny, pick it up. All day long, you'll have good luck."  I thought I remember in order to be a recipient of the good luck, the penny had to be "heads up".  I admit,  I used to flip the "found" penny until it landed heads but now, I just pick up the sad, lost little piece of currency and take it home.
