All I ever used to find was change and the occasional dollar in the washing machine. I would give my daughters lunch money and when they didn't use it, they would forget it in their pockets and it would come back to me.
I once found a wallet at Disneyland that was stuffed full - but I didn't count it, just turned it in.

The most I found was $64?.??. It was a SIGNED PAYCHECK!!!
I was in the grocery store and there was "garbage" in the basket. When I went to throw it out, I happened to unfold it. It was crumpled up. I have no idea why I did that. When I saw it was a paycheck I went to the Customer Service desk and the clerk and I looked up the phone number of the person who had lost it and phoned them. They weren't home so we left a message on the answering machine. I assume they got it.

Other than that, I have only found change. I do pick up pennies when I see them as I save them. Don't ask me why I do that either!

Oh I forgot, I once found a $100.00 bill in a Dramamine box.

I had gone out to California with my son when he was 12 and being a person who never carries any money was afraid to have money in the same place. So I stuffed money everywhere. In my shoe, in a pill bottle in my purse and in different items in my 2 suitcases along with the money in my wallet. My reasoning being that if I lost something I wouldn't lose it all.

Well a friend of mine was getting married and going to Hawaii for her honeymoon and needed Dramamine. I told her I had some I just had to check the expiration date.

When I opened the package, I saw the $100.00 bill. I couldn't believe it. She would have probably kept it thinking it was an extra wedding gift.

We have a rule in the house, that any money left in the pockets on laundry day is mine.
I struck it rich one day when I found a $100.00 bill in my husband's pants pocket. Ever since then I usually find nothing bigger than a $5 and some change and an occasional bolt or socket.

I always pick uppennies on the ground- I was told it was someone in heaven thinking of you. I figure it's my brother. Makes me smile.

Otherwise- i found a dollar bill that washed on shore in MD when I was picking up my son from camp.

Nothing other than that. I figure if God wanted me to be rich he would have done it by now, so I just need to keep working. :)

My grandkids & I were walking by the cemetery couple blocks from my house, when I looked down as we were walking alone. I was so broke & there was a $10 bill. They are always having burial services there, so guess someone took their hand out of their pocket or bag & it fell. Since no one was around & there were no fresh graves, I decided it was OK to spend it.

I remember in 1970s when I worked at a Small Loan Company, I'd carry the daily deposits to the bank several blocks away in one of the green bank bags. You couldn't pay me today to do that unless I had a Police escort. LOL.

At one of my first jobs, I had to take the money to the bank. It was on the opposite corner, so I had to cross the street twice. i was so scared someone would hit me with their car and take the bag. I know what you mean.

I just found $200 in my husbands coat pocket. Was looking for a set of lost keys.

When my sister and I were cleaning out my mom's house after she passed, we found her "stash". It was hidden in her closet under her shoes, in a bank bag, in a container!! It was $2000!! We promptly turned it over to our brothers as they had paid for her funeral. They never said kiss my butt or have an apple, just accepted it!! But a few months later accused us of stealing "stuff"! Oh well, that's a sordid story for another day!!
