Yes, I've found money on the street. My mom had sent me to the store, and I didn't want to go; so I was kicking some rocks in the street, and I kicked up $4, all $1 bills. I wanted to spend it on candy or something like that and she made me spend it on a pair of shoes. This was over 50 years ago, and I got a beautiful pair of shoes. Little did she know what she was starting. Now when I find a pair of shoes I like, I want to buy them in every color they have...not that I do, I just want to.

I have found only a small amount of money (10$) and I went to the police. The police officer laughed at me and gave me the money telling me to leave. It was an amount not important enough.

I saw a lady frop a 20 dollar bill when I was a kid. I picked it up and said "Maam you dropped this." She was so shocked and happy that I was honest, she gave me a 5 dollar bill for giving it to her! :) But I have never found money on the street, other than a quater, but I kept that. :)

My husband and I have what we call our *found money jar*. We find money everyday, usually pennies, or nickles. But there have been some rare occasins where we have found the paper kind. Largest amount was 3 weeks ago, he found a $5.00 bill in Semi-Truck parking lot, he is a truck driver, so he is always finding change. We have had our jar since we have been married *8 years* and we totaled it out about a month ago, we have over $50.00. Not to bad for spare change:)
