<p>[QUOTE="Stevearino, post: 2495098, member: 74571"]My grown daughter and I have a contest every year to see which of us can find the most money on the ground. It all started with old basketball injuries to my ankles creating instability, and needing to look down at the ground to avoid falling. Even after corrective surgeries I've never been able to break the habit of looking down. So, we have some fun with it. I will never, ever pass up a coin on the ground...except at McDonald's with the charity box right there. Otherwise, it's fair game. I found a $50 bill at the bank a year and a half ago, right before Christmas. I was worried some elderly grandmother might have been taking out bills for a grandchild, so I turned it in, requesting they contact me if no one claimed it. Six weeks later they sent me a check for $50. Last year my daughter found six $20s in a wad. Usually the annual winner is for something like a total of $10. I've got quite a stash of my findings. I have even found foreign coinage on the ground in the USA. </p><p>Steve[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
