[QUOTE="ikandiggit, post: 909323, member: 16269"]Here's the situation: Supposing someone, in the course of their job (not at a bank but say at a retail store) goes to the bank to pick up coins and bills for the daily float. As they are counting out the bills, they discover a very rare error bill. They remove that bill and replace it with one of their own. If that particular bill was worth double the value, does ethical behavior require that person to share the additional value with the business owner? If not, what about if it was worth triple, quadruple? Or what if it was worth $10,000. (I've let my boss (the business owner) know whenever I come across something of value and he isn't concerned about whether I've found a coin worth $5.00 or a bill worth $500 because he isn't interested in collecting and would never look for errors or rarities. To him the moneys that come into the till is income and would just get deposited. He even asks me if I'd like to go through bills before he makes the deposit.) I have been in correspondence with someone who, at his job, found a bill worth $10,000. He replaced the bill with one of equal face value. Should he tell his boss about it?[/QUOTE]
