The Urinal Coin
Topic ripped directly from a recent issue of FHM.
If you saw a shiney £2 coin sitting at the bottom of a urinal, would you pick it up? Assume you happen to be in the UK at the time.
For reference, £2 can buy you two double cheeseburgers at McDonalds or four cans of soda/pop/soft drink or two bottles of Powerade or uhm. Something else, I guess, I can't think of anything else right now.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
No. I would wonder why it was 'shiney'.

the morality of it.....yes
My cousin once dropped a $2 coin into my toilet once. I reached in and pulled it out, and washed my arm afterwards. Does that count?
.... Well, I've only been into a men's toilet once.
Don't ask why.
I would pick it up, but I'd wash my hands and the coin afterward!
If you think about it, coins go everyhwere, including in people's mouths and socks.
How did it get in there in the first place? Was it a 'Pay to use the urinal' machine, and someone dropped it?

In the case of the FHM office crew, it was planted there to see if anyone would pick it up. Apparently there was much 'finger sniffing' done after it mysteriously went missing.Originally Posted by Old Manus

This is why I don't read FHM.

I'd leave it. After all it's only 2 quid.
If there was soap in the dispenser and hot water in the taps, I'd take the plunge...as long as the urinal didn't have crap all over it.
Iri makes a good point - most coins and notes have a tonne of nasty stuff on them anyway.

Probably, the water would have to be pretty clean though.
Just about all money is filthy. A £2 in the urinal isnt the dirtiest money you'll handle. I probably would pick it up but Id try to wait for the urinal cleaner to start and use lots of toilet paper to pick it up.
exactly, i'd definitely have to wash my hands afterwards.

I would pick it up then immediatly wash my hands with water hot enough to liquidate my flesh.
Maybe they thought it was a wishing well?
It is better for you to die in hope than to live in despair.
Let me be your liberator.
