Finding Money

I have found money many times, not just in parking lots, but just also on sidewalks or on the street. I found a $20 bill just last month taking my evening walk. I find coins frequently and I even stop to pick up a penny. They add up. Best of all, I have found a $100 bill at least four separate times. This has not happened recently. I am talking about over the years that I have been finding money. I long ago leaned to "look" for money. People lose a lot of money.

I haven't found money in the parking lot but my daughter has. Several times she has found money. And she found an old ring a while back too. SHe is a lucky gal. I wish that I had her luck. It ebbs and flows. Doesn't happen all the time. It is disappointing to find something you think is one thing and find it to be something all together something else.

I've maybe found up to a dollar laying on the ground, a penny here, a penny there. I used to work for a dollar general and I'd find coins around everywhere. It's funny how many coins I'd pick up off the floor from inbetween coolers, and I'd always just put them in my till as it was just pennies. When I used to work for a restaurant this one couple left me $20.00. They were well off and knew the owner, came back several times whilst visiting and got a different waitress each time so we all got $20.00.

I have found change and small bills relatively often, but I actually did find a good amount of money on the floor of a store once as well. The amount of money was not a huge sum, but it was definitely enough to have potentially been a person's grocery money for the week. I turned it in to the store, and let them know where exactly I found it, even though there was nothing to identify the person that had lost it. The store took my contact information, and when nobody had claimed the money in a set amount of time I got to keep the money, so not only did I have a good feeling from knowing that I did the right thing but also got an added reward in being able to keep the money.

Hi NailTech, I never found money in a parking lot but my nephew was once found IDR20.000 (equal to $2) and he told his mom that he found money, but his mom told him to give it to a poor woman because the woman deserves the money. But I ever heard story from the old people about finding money, we need to be careful when we find money on a street because it could be a trap, like someone using black magic to seek for victim. but I dont know about it because it is beyond belief or not, if I find money I would prefer donate it to poor people or give it to beggar.

I've found $5 twice, the second time about a month ago, right before I went to school. I wish I could be lucky enough to find a $10, or a $20...

i just usually find change. i seldom find anything much but it does add up. i am saving what i find to roll up and take to the bank.

I've found twenties a couple of times. Usually it's small change like pennies or quarters. I still pick up the change and toss it in my change jar when I get home. It does add up over time. One of the times I found a twenty I asked the clerk at the gas station for change. I then had her come around from behind the register and I gave her one of the tens. She looked at me very funny and I told her that I usually share the wealth when I find large amounts of money. The woman cried! She had three days until pay day and didn't have enough gas in her tank to get her back and forth to work for three days. That ten was going to give her the fuel she needed for work. It was really funny because she was trying to think of someone who could loan her that much money until pay day. The second twenty I split with my boyfriend. We found it outside our local Target store. I used that money to buy myself a "fun" gift. There are times where we can be so disappointed...I thought I had found a silver dollar on the ground and it turned out to be a washer.

I find change all the time when I am running. But I have found a $5 bill like two different times in my life. I don't usually find anything much more than that.. but hey... I do dream about it a lot! lol!

i have never found a big amount that i could keep, just pennies or dimes, once when i was back home i found a wallet full of money in a hospital parking lot and i opened it up and found the id and went in and found the guys room in the hospital and gave it too him.. he was so happy he gave me a reward, but i dont remember how much... it was long time ago.. im glad i returned it..and have lost my purse and had it returned to me as well.. so it pays to do the right thing

It is a pretty regular thing for me to find some coins on the ground and I will admit that I always pick them up because a few cents does eventually add up to a dollar. As far as larger sums of money, there have been at least two times that I can think of where I've found at least five dollars at one time. The first time was when I was a child and it was at a very busy church festival. I found five dollars at that time. The other time was when I was in elementary school as well and our school was doing a promotion where the student that brought in the most store receipts from Kroger would win 20 Susan B Anthony dollars each month. Well, whenever we went to the grocery store I would pick up receipts that I found on the ground and I would also take receipts that were at the top of the trash can. Well, I pulled a twenty dollar bill out of the trash can as well.

i found $80 on the ground when i was going to the store my hubby found $2000.00 on the ground he got lucky there buy 9 year old found $20 on the floor in the store a week ago and gave me $7 for taking him ..but latley i only find change but every penny adds up

When I was a kid, a friend and I were playing in a field and came across a Mickey Mouse stylized wallet with around ~$300 cash in 5, 10, and 20 bills. We ended up turning it in to the police though.

This things often happened to me when i was a child playing around places than i am now a teenager. But the most highest amount i ever find myself is about $5 at a time. But my brother and friends often share their findings because sometimes they get like $20-$30 at a time and as a child, we think about friends first because we don't know what to buy other than ice creams or candy. So, we share. It's been a long time since i get to find money like that. But at least i got the experience. Haha...

I've found coins in parking lots many times, but nothing more than coins. I did find a five dollar bill in a woodpile one time. Considering the woodpile was out in the country, that was a little strange. When I find a few coins I feel like I've won something great!

When I was small the smallest find was 1 cent. The biggest amount was RM 5.00. But as adult I have found from a few cents to RM 100.00 But the largest find was S$ 500.00. That was a lot of money. That S$ 500.00 find was a bundle of ten pieces S$50.00.

I've never found money in a parking lot, but I did find $20 on the floor of a bathroom stall as a child. I wanted to try to return it to its owner, but my parents explained that trying to find the owner of a lost single bill would be nearly impossible. So I got to keep the money to use to buy things on our vacation. I've seen the lottery ticket money. I've had similar experiences with those leaflets that are printed on the back of fake money, but are just religious tracts.

I've been lucky finding money on the street. I once found a twenty dollar bill and once a hundred dollar bill which at the time was a god send because we were so broke so it really came in handy. Lol

I've found money on the sidewalk. It was just laying there no one was around and no one claimed it. I believe that it was a blessing in disguise because i was broke. It was twenty dollars. Only lose money is your any other way it belongs to someone else.God blesses us in different ways.

Maybe it was just a prank... at our place, pranksters usually glue change on the ground to laugh at people trying to pick them up. I actually have my own little trick for finding out if that's glued or not without me looking to silly... I just kick it slightly :). I don't really find big money anywhere, and I've never found any in a parking lot (mabye because there are different parking lots in my country)... but I like little money to, because they can add up :D.
