Coin Drops -- Do You Pick Them up?

I almost always pick up GP drops.

 

I believe that it'll all add up soon enough.

 

I also have some sort of OCD thing about it. I feel like I'm wasting money; if I have space for it, I'm taking it! :lol:

I pick up everything that's worth 1gp and up, pennies make the pounds! I was once laughed at for picking up a mithril sq shield in Cammy bank by a smug level 130+, meh i'm about 500gp richer than I was a second ago :P Infact I have a tab in my bank of things I need to sell.

Yes. I pick up ALL the coin drops I get even if it is 1gp. They add up (as someone mentioned earlier) to millions of gp. I have now got nearly 4m in my bank, most from the coin drops off monsters in my slayer tasks.

I always pick up the coin drops. They do add up after a while.

 

Whenever I see people not picking up coin drops. (I.E. at greater demons were the coin drops are upwards of 200gp) I always just pick those up too.

 

It does add up in the end.

Normally I don't pick up coins at all, along with most other annoying drops... Seems like a waste of 3 seconds or so :lol:

 

I'd rather use those seconds to attack the next monster I am killing

 

 

 

The only time i pick up coins is when I'm near the end of a task and its a 3k coin drop, but I'll still drop it for a better item any day :thumbup:

Always. From one gp to a hundred and more. A coin is a coin. It all adds up. No, I'm not poor. To me it's just common sense to collect free money.

 

 

 

I certainly see your point, it does all add up, but for some reason i never have (after 1 mill). Maybe im too lazy :|

I have a golden rule for that : 500 or above pick up, 499 or less leave on the ground :)

I always pick up the coins that monsters drop. They're always right at the top of my inventory with charms.

No because basically the 2-3 seconds id probly waste picking up coins after each kill (to lazy to grab them between attacks) over the span of say an average of 150 monsters per slayer task adds up to say 3 minutes to even 5 minutes if I grabbed everyone on a 200 monster task.

 

 

 

when i slayed i valued my time around like 600-700k an hour. So per minute i valued it at 10k a minute or so.

 

 

 

unless im making 30-50k per task picking up these coins, id much prefer killing my next monster sooner for faster exp. Maybe if i finish the task 3-5 minutes sooner, i could spend that time killing extra monsters and get a drop worth more then say 10-20k average coin pick/task. like any decent rune item or something.

 

 

 

 

 

Time is money. Though I did pick up the 3000 coin piles as they are easily distinguishable from the rest.

 

 

 

RS efficiency and a bit of lazyness :P

I pick up all coin drops, except for ones under 10gp.

 

 

 

These coins really do add up, and i can get over 10k in coins from a trip at the cockroaches (f2p) without alchs. Although picking up the coins may seem pointless, it will be worth it in the end

I pick up all coin drops, no matter how small, because I'm poor ::'

 

 

 

Even the really small ones do add up to something bigger over time, and they only take up one inventory space, so a few more won't hurt. :thumbsup:

The coin pile takes up an inventory space. And oftentimes that space could have been filled by a gem or herb that would otherwise have been dropped. And oftentimes the gem or herb is worth more. That's my thinking on the matter, anyway.

I often pick them up. It really depends where I'm training though. (I'm F2P) If I'm training at Lesser Demons/Moss Giants/Cockroach Soldiers I'll pick up coins. If I'm training at Flesh Crawlers, then i won't pick them up.

Yes, almost always, as creatures I kill also drop larger amounts of cash in one go, so I always have a spot for coins.

 

 

 

When it's little amounts, under 100 I tend to leave them, but I often just pick up every pile of coins I see.

 

 

 

I never bother to pick up 1-5 coin drops or anything like that, unless there's another drop on the same spot.

Yes of course. In the end it doesn't slow you down that much so why not? Unless you are power training then you should always take coins. :thumbsup:
