We do it when we're walking the neighborhood & admiring the sunset. Lately we've started carrying a plastic bag to haul home the loot. Makes the place cleaner, too.

I salute those who are willing to scrounge for change, but I thought that's what I was trying to avoid by saving for retirement!

Actually, as I remember the story, the guy's family thinks he's nuts; but as long as he's not getting arrested, WTH (says me, who was picking up coins at the airport food court last weekend..)
