    I have found plastic containers, a M&M one & a Wrigley's chewing gum one, different places & about 2 months apart.



    But as soon as I saw it, I 'Knew' there was money in it.
    It was just the neat surprise of the confidence of knowing it, and then leaning over to pick it up to find out how much $ is actually in it..
    $9 + coins & $15.
    I do this with cigarette packets too, I know if its empty or partly full as soon as I see it.
    Because of that, I do pick up the ones I'm not sure of as well, but its about a 50% chance of getting something.
    The bonus is that I don't smoke & I can give them away later on.
