Sometimes a person gets lucky enough to just stumble upon lost money in the street. A while ago a friend of mine found $50 on a down toun street and another friend found $20 in her washer. I found $15 on the sidewalk one day. What is the largest amount of lost cash you have ever found and where did you find it?

Oh, you people are so lucky. The ones that lost them are very unlucky. Sorry for them. Me, the largest amount of lost cash I have ever found is only $20. I found them near an ATM machine. I stopped for a while to wait for someone looking for the lost cash. I waited for almost 20 minutes. No one came back looking after the lost cash. After a long wait, I took them and went home. What a luck day!

I have found money in some long forgotten zippered section of my purse- $20 one time.. sometimes I find a couple dollars or a 5 dollar bill. I also like finding money in the washing machine.. Sometimes it's mine, sometimes it is my roommates.. :-)

I think we found about $25 at a water park once. It was in a little baggy to protect it from the water. Personally, I think I think the largest for me is $2 (Toonie). I never find paper money on the ground anywhere. Money from the family's pockets in the wash is pretty miniscule but I think I found $5 there once.

The largest amount of money I have ever found was five dollars. It wasn't a big amount but I was really happy to find money. I think it was invested towards ice cream or some other super market sweet.

Back in the 70's as a child i found a 100 dollar bill a parking lot. I saw some one looking around and asked them if they lost something and returned it to them the ungrateful person snatched it out my had and didn't even say thank you. A few months ago I had a group or rude picky vile people come in to the bar i work at. they complained about every thing and didn't tip. one of them dropped 60 dollars on the floor that went in my pocket

Money - To find money in your bag when you least expect it is a pleasant surprise indeed!
I find money in my own bags. Just when I think that there is no money in the house and that I will have to rush to the bank to draw some I rummage through my bags and get pleasant surprises. I have several bags which I use when I go out.
