I have a friend who frequently claims to have found money lying on the ground. she says she does that when she goes shopping. I have never ever found free money lying on the ground.
I guess I would be thrilled if I did so.. I may even do a happy dance. I have seen people dropping money from their wallets and I have alerted them to it a couple of times That is how lose i have come to finding free money.
Have you ever found money lying on the ground? What did you do with it?

Yes, I found a 20 dollar bill once, a few years ago. I had first noticed it as I was driving into a parking space. I wasn't sure if it was money at first as it was folded up really small. After I got out of my car, I went over to where it was. Sure enough, it was!
I don't remember what I did with it. I probably used it for groceries for my family. lol

Yes, that I have plenty of times. I wouldn't say it was 100s of dollars, but pennies here and there. Nickles, dimes, quarters. You bet. I pick it up and stick it in my pocket, and it then goes into my 'change jar' to be rolled and deposited in my savings account.

@TexanTornado hey you too Lucky girl! So your pockets are always jingling with free money. Do you feel bad about picking it up? Do you think of who could have lost it?

@sofssu I wouldn't say always, and no that I don't. If they wanted it, they would have picked it up when they dropped it. You can clearly hear change clink against the ground.

I have found money lying on the ground few times, what impressed me most was when I was young, I was so nervous and all at sea while I found the money (now I don't know why I was nervous at that time, may be afraid of being seen by someone). I unexceptedly gave out the money to friends, now I feel I was so silly![](/Content/images/emotes/whistle.gif)

I have found some coins on the ground. My ex-boyfriend was very lucky. He often found money in the street. He found several 50 kr bills and one time he found a 500 kr bill (about $80) I am not sure how he spent it...

The only money I have ever found on the ground was a just a few cents here and there. I have never been lucky enough to find a dollar or another denominataion. I have never worried about it though, as if I am meant to find any, it will be there, and I won't have to look for it.![](/Content/images/emotes/happy.gif)

No I never really found any money on the ground. I guess that is because I am always looking up and not down.
