[QUOTE="BigsWick, post: 466901, member: 3534"]Very interesting thread..... I'm not anyone who should claim the moral high ground about anything at all, so I'll get that out of the way. About 3 years ago I returned a bag of halves the the bank. I'd sorted a box, kept a few, replaced them from a cull pile I have, and took them to be sorted for cash. The count (my count) was [I]exactly[/I] $500. After sorting the coins the teller returned to the window and said it was $514 and some odd cents. I told her no, that it was exactly $500, that I had counted the coins myself. She asked me if there had been any dimes in the bag. I told her no, that it was all halves. She went on to explain that there had been a lot of dimes in the sort and, if they weren't mine, they must have been in there from the previous teller's transaction. She, the teller next to her and the head teller all insisted that I take the money. I didn't want it and told them so, but they were extremely adamant that I take the $14 plus dollars because of the problems it would create for them if I didn't. About 2 years ago I found a $100 bill in the public parking lot at work, sitting on the ground in plain site not near anyone's car. I kept it, but have often felt funny about it. Was I wrong to do that?[/QUOTE]
