$1.00 at a Kroger's checkout aisle as a 10-year old child. My mom made me give it to the checkout clerk, who continued to pocket it before our very eyes. Oh the humanity!
I found $20 once at Coney Island. I was with three friends so we decided to all play the carnival games until we won something. We had enough left over to split some french fries. The problem was that the fries were cold and the guy put them back into the grease to fry again. It was pretty gross eating twice-fried french fries, but it was so bizzare we just made ourselves do it.
I found 20 bucks on the ground by an ATM one time...That is the most I've ever found and kept at once. This summer when I was working at the movies, me and three other people were cleaning out a theater and one girl picked up a wallet with around $250 in it. She is a big dumbass, because she wanted to keep the money, yet she started yelling out about all this money she found so she let the other three of us in on her secret. At first we were going to all split the money, but then the guy came back looking for it and we ended up giving it back to him because there were four people in on the secret (too many people that would have to keep their mouths shut). He gave the girl that found it $20 bucks. Kind of funny that he gave her a reward considering she really wanted to keep it.
I found $150 in wallet in a parking lot of a restaurant. I left my business card with the manager there. There was NO identification in the wallet, just money. Nothing else.
In a slot machine, about $4500... On the ground, it was probably a couple hundred bucks...maybe more. A transient had just asked me for change and I make a habit of not supporting panhandling, but this guy seemed sincere and I felt bad after he walked away. Next thing I know, there's a wad of money on the ground. I didn't count it...I found the guy and handed it to him. Business was going quite well... I knew that $ was not intended for me.

I was snowboarding down a peast in Switzerland and I saw something I thought was trash like a candy wrapper, as I got closer though I could see it was MONEY. I immediatly stopped, hopped a few feet back up the slope to the money and found out it was a 100CH franks. In $'s thats about $60(American). That cash went to good use.
want a real downer??? it's a crime to keep that money...you're supposed to take it to a police station and turn it over. good thing the statute of limitations for my similar offense has run! I found $100 outside of my next door drug-dealing neighbor at college back in 93.
We were out to dinner at a very busy cafe. The girl sitting across from us was obviously very rich as she was talking to her friend (boyfriend?) about how much $ her paerents give her to shop and all this crap, she drove a ferrari, and she was in high school. (BTW, I didn't know her, we were just across from her.) Anyway when she got up to leave, she dropped a fat ROLL of bills. I went over to pick it up and counted it quickly. 25 x 100 dollar bills. I was 17 at the time and working my a$$ off every night. I could have really used that money, but I knew it wasn't right to keep it. I chased after her and got her attention. She was like "What the hell do you want?" I said "You dropped this..." and handed her the money. She said "Cool." and walked off.
Found a black chip on the floor in the Mirage ($100). Found various small bills in my life. I always come away with about a dollar on the toll ways. (check the change returns at the bottom, just open your door a crack and reach in.)
K:Anyway, it's been two years. I mean isn't there like statue of limitations on that? J:Statute. K:What? J:Statute of limitations. It's not a statue. K:No, statue. J:Fine, it's a sculpture of limitations. K:Just wait a minute...Elaine, Elaine! Now you're smart, is it statue or statute of limitations? E:Statute. K:Oh, I really think you're wrong.
