Quoted from LTG:
In a casino with lots of cameras. Pick it up, walk over to a trash can, make like you are throwing it in. Done.
Any claims later you threw out a wrapper. Security may look into it if someone claims they lost it, or saw you pick it up and claim it's theirs.
LTG : )

MrsBally sat on a jury where someone picked up aboot $400.00 laying on the floor in a Detroit casino.

He was found guilty of a Felony. Even with that "low" amount.

Finders keepers does not apply in a Michigan, non-Tribal casino.

Quoted from mcluvin:
Found a crisp $100 bill under the leg of my stool while sitting at a slot machine. A really old lady had been playing next to me for a long time, but got up and moved before I found it. She was playing with cash out of bank envelope, so I was pretty sure it was hers. Casino worker found her. I asked her if she had possibly lost any money. She starts counting her crisp $100s. I knew it was hers so gave it to her. Casino worker told me I should have just kept it. Ha! If I had no idea whose it was, I would have.

What casino?

It was a casino in Biloxi. I can't remember the name.

Every state has different Laws. Gaming Laws specifically.....

Quoted from erak:
No pennies on the ground anymore.
Stopped circulation in 2013.
But I will pick up quarters 1's and 2's.

Quoted from G-P-E:
Gotta look at these carefully, lotta low-lifes have been plating them to look like copper.

As I mentioned, plated ones were sold by Johnson Smith Co. in the '70's

Saw an older dude (est. early '80's) lunge for a penny he spotted on the carpet in a casino yesterday.

Represents deflation from the time John Rockefeller threw Nickels from a Ferris Wheel during the Depression and watched the peasants scramble for them.

Quoted from LTG:
If you buy scratch off lottery tickets, always look for this. The ticket has already been scanned and they are selling you a loser.
LTG : )

Look closely and if so, buy the ticket. Then report the felony just created. You'll get the store to lose their lottery selling license by the state or province. Bonus points if it's on camera.

Buy scratch off lottery tickets and help support Scientific Games Corporation. The parent Company of Bally and WMS.

Also remember that Lotteries benefit education.

Quoted from Jaeg:
I strategically drop my car keys near the penny. When I pick them up no one's knows I'm picking up $.01.

When you get a Tesla (eventually, everyone will, per the Tesla faithful) You won't have car keys to drop.
