I found this bag of money on a park bench in Newark, New Jersey. It was all weird…Strange colors with these pictures of what appears to be Queen Elizabeth. I was totally disgusted. I counted all the denominations, which totaled some $11,400.00. I gave it to a bum that I saw. Now I’ve found out that it could have been Canadian money, and quite possibly worth something. Did I make a mistake? Someone told me I could have gotten a couple of hundred US dollars from the bank? Is that true?

Well if the money in the bag was Canadian which you should of been able to figure out unless you can't read. Anyway if it was Canadian money the exchange rates about $1 CDN = about .85cents US so that means you gave $9,690 USD Away
Unless the notes were from the older series than they were most likey fake. It you want to be certain look at http://www.bank-banque-canada.ca/en/banknotes/general/character/index.html

If I have been you i might return the bag and bypass to a secondhand keep. As a fellow broke college student, i will allow you to already know that Goodwill is a lifesaver! i've got chanced on band call outfits, luggage, footwear, each and every thing at places like that with the unique tags on them. You do want a clean bag yet for $60 you will possibly be able to desire to locate a million/2 a cloth wardrobe in case you extremely good purchase hunted.

first of all this is obviously a joke. If you REALLY found a bag of money, why were you disgusted? And if you find a large quantity of money and don't turn it in, you could get arrested. why would you give it to a homeless person? Next time, when you wanna ask a question, make it believable.

You did a good deed by giving it to the homeless person.. If you would of given it to the police likely one of the corrupt (if not all) cops would of kept it.. And you know the homelees person could of used it more then the police.. Although sorry for the original owner of the money...

Wasn't entirely a mistake... I'm sure you made the bums day (week/month?). Don't regret what you cant change, take pride in the goodness that came out of it...

Sounds like English money, in which case it would have been worth about 6,000 of your dollars.

Even if it wasn't US money, it still may have been legitimate currency from somewhere. You probably should have taken it to the police.
