Therefore, from a purely econimic benefit point of view, here is what it is worth on an hourly basis to pick up the following coins:
1 penny = $36.00 per hour
1 nickel = $180.00 per hour
1 dime = $360.00 per hour
1 quarter = $900.00 per hour
Think about that next time you see something silver on the ground.

I distinctly remember you telling me some years ago that it wasn't worth picking up pennies spotted on the ground. Must be the inflation making it worth while now.
I have two issues with this line of thinking. I think it takes from start to finish longer than one second. I timed myself casually bending at the waste and picking up an imaginary penny ten times without walking, it took 23 seconds. Secondly, if you picked up pennies for a living, I think you would have serious back problems. Those are my thoughts on the subject.
