What's the most money you've ever found?

[jjp]

100 dollar bill when I was about 10. I was riding my Schwinn Mag Scrambler (yea....figure my age with that one) when I saw that baby laying on the ground. Probably had a stomach ache after all the candy too.

 

[SarcasticDwarf]

$20

 

[PlatinumGold]

34 twenties in a roll. i was walking out of a theater and noticed some green on the ground, i picked it up put it in my pocket without even looking at what it was. got in the car and pulled out the wad, 34 twenties.

Free $340 for me.

You can claim money orders that is written for other people? Don't they check ID when u try to cash it?

A few years ago i had just cashed my paycheck (didnt have direct deposit yet) of $1150 and was going to pay the deposit on a car. When i lost my wallet! bah i was so ticked off.

No offense but the word, "karma" comes to mind.

Damn, nice. :Q

 

[cressida]

very little, just a penny here and there.

 

[FungusFeet]

$20 at the bottom of the pool. Not much compared to the billions you've found...but i was 15 at the time. Too bad I used it to pay for AP testing...

 

[So]

like ~$5 tops.

 

[neutralizer]

$1 measly dollar... which I later used to give to someone else to buy a drink.

 

[V00DOO]

Can't recall the exact amount, either $800 or $900.

 

[CTrain]

A $200 BestBuy GC.
I always pick up discarded phonecards, GC, etc....and it never ammount to anything.
One day in the parking lot I picked up that BB GC and thought nothing of it.
Three days later when doing my laundry, I found it and gave a call....whoala $200.
Went there and got a MP3 player installed in my car....shweet !!

Most cash I've found was when I was busing table....found a $50 bill stuck in the seat.
Sorry but my motto is "finders....keepers".

Same. Unless it is in a wallet with identification, too bad.

 

[imported_Mike]
