The Jews never forget the story of the manna in the desert, which had to be scraped off the rocks before the sun grew too hot. It sustained the Israelites for 40 years. If the ground was littered with pennies or brass shell casings as far as the eye could see, how much could you pick up in an hour? More than a tradesman's hourly wage? And its tax free!
There is wisdom in picking pennies off the ground. Fortunes have been made off fractions of a percentage point.
