How much wombled coinage would persuade you to miss your train?

On the way to catch her train this morning, MSE Rhiannon did some impromptu wombling and picked up a coin from the ground. She saw a second one but had to abandon it to rush for her train.
So her question is:
How much ground coinage would make you consider hanging back and missing your train?

Depends on the train journey... If it's commuting to London and the next train is in 3 minutes and there's no cost to me in getting the next train - £2. If it's an InterCity and missing the train means paying a walk up fare on the next train in 30 minutes then twice the cost of that walk-up fare or £200. How likely is it that £200 is lying on the ground unnoticed...MSE_Laura_F said:On the way to catch her train this morning, MSE Rhiannon did some impromptu wombling and picked up a coin from the ground.

NONE. Ever.
I'm very disorganised and always running late anyway but first of all, the money isn't mine and so why should I care? I don't. And secondly, it could be one of those tricks where it's stuck to the ground. And thirdly, it's nothing to do with me and if others want to pick up dirty money from the ground, that's their business but I never do. As my mother used to say, "dogs could have weed on it".
Yes, I really would rather starve - but then that's me all over. Cutting off nose to spite face.

I wouldn't think you will "Boost Your Income" by very much hanging around railway stations, missing trains and picking up the odd dropped coin!If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales1

None - why miss a train just to pickup some coins to hand in.2
