My best find was a 2000 Belgian francs note some 10 years ago - at current exchange rate around 60$
My most bizarre find was a pile of 4 Turkish 1 lira cons in Greece.
But never ever found a collectible coin.
Congrats to your friend!

I'm really scared at the law of averages would screw me.
If I find something valuable, I'm always thought what would or did I lost. :D :D

My best random find was a $20 bill I found in my winter coat pocket that I had forgotten there the previous winter. Not really a net gain, but still fun.

If I find something valuable, I'm always thought what would or did I lost. The law of averages works for the entire population. It doesn't have to be you to lose something. It's actually the person whose item you find. Your find and his/her loss average out. |

I like the Coinstar idea - I'll have to check those machines out.
Also, I have a find to report from a recent vacation. We had stopped at a convenience store for drinks, bathroom, etc. When we left an walked out to the car, I looked at the ground as I was getting in the car a found a $10 bill. At least it helped pay for the drinks.
Then, long time ago as a kid when I was mowing the yard, I almost ran the lawn mower over a $20! Fortunately I noticed what it was first and pocketed it. Most I ever got paid for a lawn mowing as a kid.

I found a ten dollar bill last week when I went out to my mailbox but I've never found a collectible coin. You must have dropped it the night before trying to get your keys out of your pocket...:) |

Leaving a casino one night I found a $20 on the ground and my brother said most people would say that is a sign they should go back in a play some more. I told him it was a sign that I left at the right time.

That $10 I found going to get the mail that day wasn't my first find like that. One time I found $30 going into our local deli and once I found $20 on the ground. All that and I'm only $10 ahead because I lost a fifty at another deli. When I went back everyone there claimed they hadn't seen it but I know that's where I lost it. Que sera.
