If you drop a penny on the ground and don’t pick it up, is that littering?

The US economy is so bad that dropping a penny on the ground is now considered littering.

Is it considered littering to drop a penny on the ground, or am I simply doing my part to spread the wealth?

I accidentally dropped a penny on the ground today. I decided to pick it up because it felt like I was littering
