So I think that I'm doing well if I pick up a few dollars worth of quarters or in the case of a Milwaukee parking lot last Sunday, I picked up a stylus for DH's PDA (he loses that hardware a lot).
I'm hopelessly outclassed by sister's partner (DSP). Here's the story.
Sister and I were working on sister's laptop when DSP came by and asked if we would join her in walking the dogs. We said no and continued on with her laptop. FYI - it now starts a lot faster.
Thirty minutes later she comes back and says, "You should have come, it would have paid. Look what I found three steps from the porch."
She unfurled a $50 bill, which we later used at West End Pizza.
And last week she found three twenties and a couple of ones.
I run a coin rescue, DSP runs a bill rescue.

I found $15 in June and I thought that was pretty cool...

About 20 - 25 years ago 3 girlfriends of mine and I found $40 at the drive in. (the movie kind) We did report it at the concession stand but we refused to divulge how much we found. Needless to say the girls working the concession stand were kind of *witchy* about the whole thing. Had we told them the exact amount, I know without a doubt, that they would have told us that yes, someone claimed the money and they would have then kept it for themselves!

The more cash you use the the more times you pull out cash from a pocket, the greater the probability that bills work their way out of a pocket. Hmmm, maybe this is a Freakonomics question.
