Ben Franklin was homeless

Ben Franklin found a new home today. I was in the middle of my morning walk and jog and noticed a greenish piece of paper sticking out of a pile of leaves that had blow up against a bush. I looked closer and saw a 100. I pulled it out and there he was. That's the first one for me. I walked around that block three more times just to see if he might have had a twin brother. I'll take good care of him.

    Nice find. I have found a number of dollar bills, and a few 5 dollar bills outside, but never anything larger than that.

    Hey,thanks for finding that for me.I lost one of those near that bush.I forgot to write down the serial number though.image























    Just kidding.Very nice find.I found four twenties folded together laying on the floor in the bar that i used to hang out in years ago.Didn't get to keep it though.Other than that, five is the largest note i've ever found on the ground.

    Nice eye. I have found a $50 at home depot about a month ago on the parking lot right outside my car door. I was so happy i found it I almost didn't even go into the store. The last thing I found before that was 7 one dollar bills on the street. While I was driving I spotted a one dollar bill blow in front of my car. I stopped and backed up got out and ended up with $7 found on the street and in the grass. I think I bought 2 gallons of gas with itimage

    I would adopt a stray Benjamin, and give him a good home. Briefly, until he went to live somewhere else.

    Astounding luck! Worthy of a Wild Card win, I would say.
