This is the kind of thing that.....

will get your heart racing at 5:30 am while heading to work... then realizing that it's not actually real

It's an ad for a car service that looks like a $1 Dollar Bill

Found it rolling around in the wind

Yup, I'd have been excited, then disappointed

 

I mean, in NYC car service coupons are essentially cash, so not a total let down

 

Around 1997 or so I thought I found one of these at a gas station stuck in a little snow bank (after having seen plenty of them) but it turned out someone had dropped a 100$ bill... I felt so sorry for that person! Losing a hundred clams! But I certainly was happy to have it.

 

Keep it. There's probably someone who collects these.

 

I know the feeling.. I was driving and stopped at a red light. I saw some garbage spinning around in the wind. When I looked carefully I saw currency!.. So I got out of my car and started to pick them up. I found 1 $50.00, 3 $10.00 and 3 $1.00
It was $83.00 all together! I left quick after the cars got impatient and started to honk at me because the light had turned green. This was about 12 years ago

 

Here in the bible belt, some use bill sized paper printed like real bills. They are normally found folded and on the reverse are instructions on saving your soul!

 

Ha that's funny..
I want to share this joke with you -

A well-worn one dollar bill and a similarly distressed twenty dollar bill arrived at a Federal Reserve Bank to be retired. As they moved along the conveyor belt to be burned, they struck up a conversation.

The twenty dollar bill reminisced about its travels all over the county. "I've had a pretty good life," the twenty proclaimed. "Why I've been to Las Vegas and Atlantic City, the finest restaurants in New York, performances on Broadway, and even a cruise to the Caribbean."

"Wow!" said the one dollar bill. "You've really had an exciting life!"

"So tell me," says the twenty, "where have you been throughout your lifetime?"

The one dollar bill replies, "Oh, I've been to the Methodist Church, the Baptist Church, the Lutheran Church ...."

The twenty dollar bill interrupts, "What's a church?"

 

Lol!

 

I was driving into a mall one day... saw currency blow in front of my van. Stopped and got out... picked up a $20 bill... car behind me was PO'd.... blew his horn... I waved the bill as I got in.... he laughed... we went on our way.

 

Reminds me of the Dick Gregory presidential campaign dollars, distributed on campus in 1968 - the borders were close enough to the real thing that they were accepted in change machines in laundromats and elsewhere around the Rutgers College area that fall - the US govt. got involved and ordered them seized - here's a link to images > http://www.ep.tc/dickgregory/

 

I found $50 at my bank two years ago a week prior to Christmas, between the outer and inner doors. Worried it might have been a senior citizen getting cash to give a Christmas gift, I turned it in to the head cashier. I asked if it wasn't claimed if it would be mine. Six weeks later I got a deposit slip in the mail, confirming $50 had been added to my account.

Maybe Santa dropped it when he saw me coming while he was on a scouting trip.

Yet, no one stoops to pick up a hundred pennies anymore.

 

I do. Just found my first 2017 at Mickie D's yesterday.

 

No, it's not funny when they leave it as a "tip" for the waitress making $2.11 an hour and then hop back into their Lexus.

Pathetic.
Miserly.

Bunch of other terms come to mind...

 

I thought this joke was going in a totally different direction....one involving a strip club and a g string......

 

This is one that people around here actually pay for: €3 for a "zero euro" note. Those are souvenirs of course, but with a design that resembles euro bills and printed by Oberthur, a company that also makes real euro notes. Quite popular among some collectors. One side always features some local sight, the other side is a common one with various European "landmarks" ...

My $100 bill Christmas Story

Shopping at Fry's Electronics I was in a LONG checkout line when I glanced down and saw a bill at my feet. Picking it up I saw it was a $100 bill. Not knowing who to give it to, I stuck it in my shirt pocket. A couple of minutes later a young guy was walking back along the line asking if anyone had seen his $100 bill. I handed it to him and he said thanks.

On my way out of the store I saw him still at a checkout and taped him on the arm to say Merry Christmas. He thanked me again and said that the bill was his grandmother's and he was buying presents for her to give to her friends and if he had not have found it, he would have had to tell her he had lost the money. Sometimes our rewards don't have to be monetary.

 

Before giving it to him, you should have asked for the serial number in order to know whether it was actually his. j/k, that was very nice.

That's pretty neat! How do you acquire such a note? Also are the serial numbers different?
