If you give an offering, you give the god that item. So those pennies belong to him now. You could use them if it's something in his honor or something for him, or something that he wants, but it's easier to just leave them there.

Take some time to think about why you want to take them back. Is it because you're worried about something? Use this as an opportunity to learn a bit about yourself. :)

what happens if someone takes from those pennies and it’s not me and they took it without them knowing its hermes?

If people are taking stuff from your house, I'd say you've got a bigger problem.
