Hi all, This is a super early morning thread. I'm excited because about half an hour ago when I was nearing my job I experienced a FOG - Found On Ground! Paper currency just dancing around in the wind.. $110.00 I am super blessed this morning! I know this has been asked before.. What's the most you ever found in paper currency.. cash?
I found 5 20s, one after another, lying in a line about 20 feet apart, in my complex driveway, a few years back. Many years before that I found a 100 and a 1, folded together, behind a stove when I moved it to paint behind it. Those are my biggest, but I have found Mucho Moola over the years. The money that you found, Let me ask you my friend, Was it blown' in the wind? No *s , no fancy serial numbers, no old bills... SPEND IT !!!
I found £1700 ($2214) in a house clearance a few years back. I found these notes in a house clearance just before Christmas.
Nice finds. Recently, after the last snow storm I found a $5 and a $1 in the snow. A few months ago a $50. Most? walking a parking lot a bunch of $'s floating around, about $86 as I remember it.
They used to give out little fliers to advertise taxi companies some years back. They had the look of US currency. You would see them on the ground here and there. One very early, still dark morning, when I went to get gas, I saw one of them (I thought) sitting on top of some snow. I bent over and picked it up knowing it would be one of those fliers. It turned out to be a real 100$ bill!!! Wow. That was a good morning that was. Congrats, Paddyman.....enjoy... Watcha going to do with it?
WHOA!! You found 110 bucks just blowing in the breeze? I would say that is a blessed day! Most I ever found was a crisp new $100.00 bill that was stuck to a baseball practice field backstop on a windy day. I was coaching the little league team. That was twenty years ago and I was a poor man. I loaded the team in the back of my pick-up (a big no-no these days) and we drove to the ice cream shop.
But....was it really "an empty billfold" if it had $37 and change in it? Or was it the "purse with nothing in it" that had the $37 and change? lol JK
No, no, I spent $37 and change to go on a search and all I found was a purse with nothing in it and an empty billfold.

[/QUOTE] A friend of mine wonders in amazement at how I could possibly get a completely different understanding than what he intended to say or thought he wrote! Lolllzzz....
Found $150.00, 7 twenties and 1 ten folded in a Walmart. Turned it into Customer Servive and asked to be informed if anyone claimed it. Long story short, Walmart informed me they never remembered receiving anyone turning in $150.00 cash , and the money magically disappeared? The next year I was in a very busy Mall Shopping Lot and the weather was just terrible. Wind gust of 30-40 mph, raining cats & dogs. I literally had a $50.00 bill land on my drivers side door window and stick there, lol
When I was about 14 I was walking home from a friend's house and found a wallet with $80 in it.. there was a driver's license in it so I looked the guy up and returned it.. they gave me a $15 reward
Here in the South they have those too, but not for cans, for Christ! Little pamphlets that look like folded currency and when you open it, gives you the directions to save your soul.
I found a $100 bill folded up into a small square so it was hard to recognize it as money. It was in a Target at Christmas time and I took it to customer service and inquired if someone was missing a large denomination bill. They said, "leave it with us." I said NO, gave them my number and never received a call, so I spent it.
I ventured to a blackjack table when I took my wife on a cruise. Fellow came and sat next to me and dug out what looked like a postage stamp. He unfolded a hundred from that teenie square. I asked him, "Is that the hidey hole?" He smiled and said yep. Wife never finds them folded up like that.
In an estate cleanout a client found $98,000.00 in a metal box behind some bottles in a pantry. The safe in the basement was empty except for a bunch of meaningless documents.
Randy that money hidden under stamp....(hidey hole) is called HER MONEY....money her don't know about...……. I hide money and other things in garage. shed, man cave all the time...…..but forget where the hidey hole is and its a pleasant surprise years, months later...…….. or someone will be happy if kids auction everything off and they find an item which I had hidden...I told them don't throw nothing away till you go through it.. it goes in one ear and out the other...….
