I once found a 50 dollar bill behind the Marenelli's--feel sorry for the poor bastard that lost that--and $20 came flying at me when I was going to my gate one day. It was especially windy, and I spent the next minute or so tracking the sucker down.

My brother and I once found money orders in the magnitudes of 200+ dollars a piece ....I won't go any further then that.

As just for myself, I found about 20 dollars on a stairwell once in my apartment building and a five dollar in my school cafeteria. That's all I can remember at the moment.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

Tenners and Fivers, mainly. They fall out of peoples pockets and drift around until someone thinks 'Hey, is that cash?' and what follows is then a scramble for it... :) Or it used to be, anyway, havent found any money lying around since I was 16 or so.

Wallet fell out of my pocket a few years back, all my cards and everything, fortunately, the sixth form janitor was walking on the same route, picked it up and brought it back to school (possibily having seen me around in my former official capacity as elected-lacky for the teachers :mrgreen:), fortunate, that...

I found a 100 Marka bill in the early nineties, apart from that it's just been coins.

I recall finding a few fives and tens here and there. Found a twenty once in the middle of the street. It was raining, so it was barely holding together, and a piece was already missing from it. I can't remember what I spent it on, but I know they took it without complaint.

In the entire 14 years of my life, I have picked up about $20 in change.

I once found a phone and a £20 note on a bus, I handed the phone in the lost and found, and kept the £20. Evil of me, but hey stupidity costs, and I'd already done my good deed of the decade.

I once found a £5 note outside a shop too.

That's about it, except random coins, and the time that the coke machine at college accidentally gave me £2 in change.

Perhaps a few coins, at most. I guess people in the northeastern US are careful about not losing change or something. That and I don't bother looking around.

Once the money's drop
1. If you can't for some reason give the money back such as the person has gotten in the train or something. You keep it.
2. If it's just sitting there. Don't STARE AT IT.. GRAB IT!
3. GRAB IT, It's yours now. :D

I used to find money every now and then as a child. I had a habit of continually scanning the ground as I walked for goodies of any type.
