Would I be laughed at if I picked up 10 won coins from the sidewalk/street? Would it be "beneath" a teacher to do that?

[schwa]

I do. Lucky penny.

[ChrisLamp]

get that gwap! they'll stare and judge you regardless, so *beep* em.

I'm willing to hurl 10 won coins to you from the top of a building if that's your bag.

I know people who throw 100 won coins on the street and give standing ovations to everyone who picks them up. Drinking beer while they wait (there's no other way to think that's funny).

Don't pick it up. It might be a setup.

True story: I once picked up a coin (about $1) from the floor in a department store. While doing this, something slipped from my shirt pocket that was worth about 20 times as much. Now I only go for notes and cards.

Yes, 10 won is real money.

Also, always ask for a light when you can. Saves on lighter fluid.

Be careful though. People sometimes glue coins to the ground at their bus stops and watch as people try to pick them up. They get a sick thrill out of it. Especially since they can do it every morning when I catch the bus.

I always pick up pennies and drop them into a donation boxes at the nearest convinient stores. Pennies will go a long way to feed hungry kids in Africa.

i actively throw/kick away my W10 coins whenever i get one at and leave a store, so i guess this evens out.

but if you want my answer, it'll be a no, while shaking my head slowly.

There's a reason people take off their shoes when entering their homes. To willingly grab something on the ground is not advised. You then rub your eyes and nose.
