I always pick up any change on the ground, no matter if it is "just" a penny. A couple of times I have spied a $20, couple of times a $10, and several $5 and $1. Even one time thought I had found a $50 in a WalMart parking lot (it was folded like many of us do), but turns out it was an advertisement for a tax refund preparation office. A couple of days ago I was picking up a refrigerator and an oven from someone who had responded to my craigslist ad. Saw a piece of paper blowing in the wind beside my truck and picked it up. A nice $100 bill. And not an advertisement replica either. I looked upwind to see if anyone might be frantically looking, and saw nothing. A big first for me, and will probably be my only time. Strangest part is I was delayed taking off at my regular time from work for a half hour. If I had not been delayed, I would not have been in the right place at the right time, it would have been someone else doing the happy dance (figuratively, not literally. Sure does make one wonder though how a person goes about losing a $100 bill. I sure would be sick if it was me.
