What is the highest amount of money you have found on the ground?

Question

Did you take it or give it to some authority?

for me, i found 67 bucks rolled up at costco. i showed my dad and he said lets give it back. but he lied to me and just kept it for himself. what a jerk.

wow haha i cant believe how many people have found 67 bucks at stores

Answer 1

$20 on the ground. I kept it as money has no owner.

Answer 2

Sorry about your dad. I found 40,00 under the table at a restaurant once. When I got home, I called them and said if anyone says they lost some money to have them call me and describe the amount. It was two twenty dollar bills stuck together. After a few days no one called and I really needed the money, so I kept it.

Answer 3

No way!
I found 67 bucks in a parking lot of a grocery store! That's uncanny.

Answer 4

The most I have ever found was $67.00, it was also at a Costco...some guy's dad dropped in the ground.


Seriously, I happend across a $20 once....years ago when I was in need of it.

I will not even tell the dime story again...nobody would believe it anyway.

Answer 5

I found $20 at the bottom of a pool once, in the deep end.

I didn't think it was enough money to turn in, and who knows how long it had been down there. I was just glad I had some goggles on so I could see it!

Answer 6

$50

Answer 7

89 dollars in cash, 2 sets of diamond earrings and around 380 dollars in food stamps. Found in a purse a beautiful young woman had dropped while strolling her baby. The wallet had her drivers license in it so I stopped by her address and returned the purse. We dated for three years after. So never give up fella's, and it does pay to be honest.

Answer 8

$40.00 - two twenties folded up. Nope.

(It was among the empty beer, liquor, wine bottles and other litter left behind by nightclub patrons - the nightclub never sends anyone out to clean up around them except in their own very small and inadequate parking lot. Used it to treat my nieces and nephews to lunch that same day and as part of a large tip to their waiter-neighbor-friend at a pizza place that night.)

Answer 9

40$

Answer 10

I once found Rs. 500 on the ground which is about $25.

Answer 11

$ 249.00 just before Xmas back about 1958, shortly after leaving the confessional at old St. Joachim's church in downtown Manhattan. It was in an old broken-up wallet with absolutely nothing else in it but the money. I thought it was a gift from God for going to confession!
Later on about February of the next year I found out it belong to the mother of one of my friends, a family who was even mere poor than we were. Her son my friend Lois mentioned it cassually in conversation, it was their rent and food money. Our xmas needless to say was better than their's. I felt very guilty in spite of the fact that I had made sincere efforts to find the rightfull owner at the time of the finding. I went home and pucked. I told my mom about it and she cried. At this time we were still not in shape to return the money, we mulled it around for a few minutes and desided that no matter what we would pray for their family constantly and slowly but surely repay them in bits and pieces. Every chance we got we would insert an envelope in their mailbox anonymously. Mom from her od jobs and me from my part time jobs. Eventually Mom and I paid it back. On at least two occasions I overheard Lois mother exclaim how it "was good to get money in the mail because her husband had not been able to work for almost two years and he had recently died".My father who had gone to Puerto Rico to work had also inserted an envelope with $23.00 in their mailbox without telling us. This was a time when my father's salary was about $17.00 a week. I guess $249.00 about the year 1958 is probably equal to somewere in the thousands today, maybe two thousand dollars or so. When I gave it to my mother I know she "spread the wealth" to our entire family, my sisters, cousins etc. God in his own way spread the wealth between our two families, Louis's and Our's.
