Found 20$ on the ground. What's your policy?

Keep it unless I can visibly see the owner or its a duffle bag full of it.
Found a old strange coin once lying on the ground.
Looked it up when I got home and it was somewhat rare and worth $44 bucks at the time (2008'ish).
I pity whoever dropped it but if you're carrying around a valuable coin in a grocery store and drop it that's your fault.
If it was someone's lucky coin I think it ran out of luck.

Oh, it's just Canadian dollars. Meh.
Kidding. It's yours, OP. You are halfway there for a decent Italian to go meal.

If I just randomly find it with no ID then I look around and if someone claims it i'll just give it to them. Not gonna lose any sleep over a 20.
If there's ID I'll get it to em somehow.
If I see it dropping in real time I'll run up to em and return their money. Did that about a year ago to some woman at a train station. Bunch of cash dumped out her purse. She was shocked as shit that someone would give it back to her and she said I was so nice for doing so. That was a reward unto itself and worth far more to me than cash.

I did the same thing with a 20 I found in a parking lot. Finders keepers, losers weepers.

As has been said in this thread more than once, Pizza Time.
Um, maybe pizza and cookies and a refreshing beverage.

Just a few weeks ago I found a 10 dallor bill on my school campus, put it right in my pocket.

If it's just a loose bill, I keep it. Although I've never found more than $20, so I dunno how my thought process would change if I found $100+.

I was briefly in Canada last week and withdrew $20 from an ATM thinking I'd need cash to get back into the US.
It is worth only like $16 US.

Less than $100? Keep it. More than that, turn it in to the police. If you turn it in to a business or property owner, it will probably be pocketed by them. My local police department publishes a list of all found property. One of the things you have to provide to recover the property is the amount so don't tell anyone how much you found or they could just go claim it for themselves.

I don't even pick it up. $100 or bust.

Look around, if nobody's actively searching the ground for anything - I pocket it.

My rule is, if you saw the act of the drop, tell the person and give it back. If its there, and nobody around, and you did not witness the activity? Well its yours.
Some pf these are case-by-case. If you somehow end up with an extra burger in your BK bag, its yours.
If the cashier accidently gives you an extra $10 in change? Give that shit back. That could mean their job.
If the back mistakenly puts $10k in your account, report that shit or FBI is on your ass.

Pick it up and if no one is around to claim, sounds like someone just bought you a small pizza and a game rental at Blockbuster for the weekend! Friday WOO!
