I found $5,000 in a brown paper bag when I was 14, the bag was sitting next to a trash can. The money was brand new, in crisp $20.00 bills. I just took it home, cleaned it off, and counted it on the kitchen table with mom. Those were the good days.
I found a fifty on the convenience store floor once; tried to catch the guy but toke off added it to my facebook ad campaigns eventually
I found $20 on three occasions(movie rental place, in a bar, convenience store), $40 (2 $20's folded together in a grocery store) on another occasion, $5 once on a NYC sidewalk. Found a wallet with about $340 once, but it had the student ID and driver's license of the owner. I was tempted to keep it but gave it back.
I hope it was not a counterfeit one...since one always double checks this denomination note in India... I have never found any money on the floor....though I hardly look at it for money !! Regards, RightMan
I found £30 GBP on once at a fun fair. And when my great gran died they found £1k in cash in her flat.
