Spotted this in the middle of the road, in a puddle, driving 40 mph.
Happy day. :smile:

    I made a u-turn to see if it was what I thought it was, passed it and made another u-turn, slowed, put hazard lights on, opened door, scooped it up, closed door and continued on my way. :smile:

    I was gassing the car last week and daydreaming while doing so, and when finished pumping/daydreaming I thought I saw a bill laying on the ground a few pumps ahead of me.
    I dismissed it as a greenish-white colored crushed paper cup, but then I just had to see what it was.
    It was a crumpled up dirty $20.
    It had been quite some time since my last paper money find.
    While I felt sorry for the person who lost it, that feeling didn't last very long!

    Nice find! I spotted a quarter once, on the ground outside a convenience store. A ten year old kid beat me to it.

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    In all my years of 'ground watching', I have found two $20 bills - individually - and four $20 bills folded together once in a busy bar parking lot.... I still keep my eyes on the ground hoping for a repeat... ;) Cheers, RickO

  • bigtime36bigtime36 Posts: 961 ✭✭✭✭

    My best ground spot was a $100 and $50 folded together on the ground.

    Collect raw morgans, walkers, mercs, SLQ, barber q. Looking at getting into earlier date coins pre 1900s.

    @bigtime36.... Double Wow..... Nice find indeed.... Cheers, RickO

    I would have liked to see the tire marks or the quick u-turn!

    Cool. So get this.....I stop on the highway between Vegas and LA to change drivers. I'm the passenger and get out and walk behind our car to go get into the driver's seat. I'm standing there watching traffic zoom by at 80 and no break in the traffic. So, just looking down I see a quarter, face up in the middle of the right lane. Of course I cannot read the date and I just stood there thinking: can an old man of 73 dart out into that lane of traffic, between vehicles, and grab it and dart back before being squashed? Nah, it's still right there....still think about it a month later.

    Wow... It might have been a silver quarter....I would have made the dash....Or, it could have been the quarter to win the prize in the quarter slots... :D Well.. you probably made the right decision... glad you are still here. Cheers, RickO

    So many kids today make the mistake of putting their money in the same pocket as their cell phone. They pull out their cell phone, and out comes the money along with it without them ever noticing.

    Not just kids.....I did that, very temporarily, at the casino craps table last week. Pulled $100 bill out of my wallet (one side, front pocket) and put it in my other front pocket where it would be quick to just grab if the point didn't hit and I wanted to keep playing. That side had my cellphone with it. Point hit, I got more chips, and didn't need the $100. Then, about 30 minutes later, I backed away from table to use my smartphone to do some texting while someone else threw.

    Casino boss new me and shouted my name. I looked up and he pointed to my feet. The $100 bill was there. I thanked him and put it back in my wallet.

    So, even those of us careful enough, usually, sometimes make mistakes.

    Putting any "raw" cash in with your cellphone is asking for problems (I have made my son use a wallet...of his choosing.....since about 2 years ago as he was one of those doing exactly that ... raw bills with cellphone)

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    I never keep my cellphone in a pocket with anything else...I wear cargo pants, and the lower right pocket serves well for the phone. That explanation does fit well with the amount of found paper currency reported though... had not thought of that. Cheers, RickO

    Wish there cell phones when gold coins circulated!🙂

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    @No Headlights...Finding a gold coin while MD'ing has been a recurring dream of mine....Still only a dream, but one is allowed to dream.... ;) Cheers, RickO

    I couldn’t agree more. I’m also still hopeful.

    Two weeks ago I let my front lawn get fairly long. When I mowed it, a $20 bill shot out of the grass chute on my lawnmower. The bill suffered several cuts, but, was all in one piece. The bank was willing to exchange it for me.

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Now that is a great find... $20 through a lawnmower.... Cool.... Cheers, RickO
