Pennies are more commonly left on the ground these days than they once were.

When the average person made less than a dollar a day, finding a penny was a big deal, hence the old saying, "Find a penny, pick it up. All the day you will have luck."

With the economy getting steadily worse, the average person sees little or no value in a penny. Most people these days wouldn't make the effort to bend over and pick one up.
