I found a $100 bill at the mall...I told the store management I had found something and if anyone lets them know they lost something to call me.  I never heard anything...so I got to keep the $100 bucks.

This dude was leaving the bank and flashing his money to his gf.  He dropped 200$ and drove off while I was trying to give it back to him.  I ate some olive garden for lunch that day.

The most I have ever found, was when I was about 14 or 15 years old, and it was $5.00 :sad1:

I once found a $1 bill outside of a gas station... Since I was going inside to pay, I decided that the dollar was lucky and purchased a scratch-off ticket. Boy was it ever lucky! I won $100 on that ticket!

I also heard about a person at a local bar that found an unopened pull-tab ticket, opened it up, and found that it was a $150 winner.

I did find $5.00 in a parking lot at a thrift store.  I was with my sister in-law, looked down, and there it was.  Trust me, that was a shock. :)

I honestly don't remember, so it must not have been that much.  Occasionally I'll find a $10 or $20 in one of my pockets and that is always fun.  A little boy at school found a $50 in the school parking lot last year.  He turned it right in to the principal.  My husband found an iPhone5 sitting on a bench at the train station the weekend they came out.  He turned it in to security.  Someone had to be very upset that weekend.  Hopefully, they went to security to see if anyone turned it in.

Well I am not sure this counts.  But I was stepping off the TRE train which is our commuter rail in the DFW area at Centerport and noticed something between the car and the platform that I did not believe belonged there and being curious I waited until the train pulled out to investigate.  When I bent over and picked it up it was a wallet with $600.00 in it.  Along with credit cards and luckily a drivers license which enabled me to track the owner down and return it.  She explained that she was running late that morning and must of dropped her wallet after purchasing a ticket and was so thankful to get the wallet and money back since it was for her kids Christmas.  That was about 4 years ago give or take a month or two.

Most of the money I find is in the form of coins.  I think the most I've every found was a $20 bill but that's only happened once.  I've probably found more in coins than I did with that $20.

I found $20 one time.  But since I work at Walmart I turned it in to service desk.  Someone would probably come back after it and they might have need it real bad.  Hope everyone has a good day and may God bless each of you and keep you safe.

$20.00 seems to be my limit.  Once a bill literally landed at my feet when I was in a parking lot ready to get in my car.  I looked around, but there was no one else in the parking lot who could have dropped it so who knows where it blew in from.  When I bought my last car, I found two rolls of quarters ($20.00 again) under the driver's seat.  I called the dealership to thank them thinking it was some kind of promotion.  It wasn't.  I guess the previous owner may have stashed them in there and forgot about them?  Oddly enough, both times this happened I was strapped enough for cash that I was very thankful for it.
