$20!!! That's a whole night of Lao Dark for me!!!! Well maybe around 7 bottles but still, lots of beer.

I once found a £20 note when leaving school as a kid. I put it towards some new shoes if I remember rightly.
 
Buy a 'I found $20 and all I got was this lousy t-shirt' t-shirt. They cost about $20.
 
I'd pick it up and go to the post office to get it exchanged for pounds and pence. Then i'd buy a few lottery tickets and scratch cards. :dopey:
 
I'm genuinely surprised nobody said "I'd get me a cheap hooker" yet...
 
First thing I'd do is unfold it and make sure it's not a proselytism.

Found a $100 bill folded up outside of a Wendy's once and it was just an ad for some baptist church. :(

I would've been p*ssed.
 
^ That's a great advertising tool. Might have to borrow that idea in the future.

Excellent! Did they offer a 3 for £20 discount?

I'm also quite worried that you're telling the truth...

I didn't sample, I've never had a brass. One of my Chinese friends is keen on a bit and came across the deal of the century. £8 all you can....erm........eat? Must have been a right dog.

Putting my professional head on for a moment, it's a nice idea but has issues as a piece of marketing material. It completely lacks subtlety or sophistication. I mean, anyone would pick up something if they thought it was money. I could punch someone in the face or crap through their letterbox and say 'Got your attention?'. The response would always be, 'Of course you have, you jerk'.

Also, deliberately fooling people is a rather dubious method of promoting your brand or business, especially a church! Add to that the fact that the lingering response to the material (and therefore your company) is disappointment, then I would question using this agency at all! [/rant]

:D

Hah, many years ago we had a fellow that did that repeatedly at our grocery store, and the manager forbade him from coming in because he was littering. They used to be $20's and the like. If I had more spare time, I'd attend the said church and put the trash back in their collection plate.

Probably buy an album, or save it for places that don't take credit cards.

Wow, that suckin' F-🤬. I really really don't like soliciting churches and all that stuff. In my opinion: I don't want your crappy religion keep it for yourself. :yuck:
 
I was working in a shopping mall, and when I was standing on a ladder, my colleague came back from the car, and he was walking behing a huge guy, who had his hand in his back pocket, and when he pulled it out he dropped a bundle of money, my colleague and I saw it, and he put his foot on the bundle, waited a couple of seconds, and then picked it up.

Turned out to be 300 Euros. Needles to say it went 50/50 into our pockets. :lol:
 
I would first wonder what the heck dollars are doing in my country, but after that, I would possibly exchange them for euros and buy myself something good. Like chips (note: I speak American English)

Wouldn't that be 'fries' then? ;)

No, I talk about those crispy things, crisps in British English :dopey:

I just try to use American English all the time because I know it better, and don't want to end up using a mixture of 'em.
 
Save it and eventually end up spending it on some computer hardware. I've never found any money on the ground but I've won $5 for solving a math question in high school! When I heard it from the teacher that he'd give us $5 for fixing a problem first(Because people did not do the math homework or never followed the class at all. Plus students were complaining when they said math would never help them earn money) I went and solved it quicker than anyone else and thrown my hand in the air!

I don't want your ugly opinion keep it for yourself.
 
I'll save the money/notes for future occasions finding them to be useful as the currency or other tool as a means of trading, in case I'm living in the U.S. or southern Australia... If I'm still to live in my motherland or another country where the currency isn't prevalent, I'll soon exchange the money into what is widely used in the country instead of the American dollars.

Inside my country, I often used to seek for money somebosy else dropped on the ground(The slight gap underneath the vending machine was a good spot to discover coins)... pathetic it was one of my pleasures which seemed pleasing to me in those days. :guilty:
 
I'd keep it unless it obviously belonged to someone nearby.

I remember I was stood in a queue to buy a game once and when I got to the counter a guy tapped me on the shoulder and said "Is this your £20 mate?", holding up a note towards me. It wasn't. I quickly faked checking my pockets, acted shocked and said "Oh my god, it is! Thankyou so much!"

Yes, I'm going to hell. But I'll be £20 up when I get there.
 
What to do... I'd just go to the currency converter and trade it for different currency of notes to be added into my small collections. Or maybe if I think it's not sufficient enough, I'd just save it for petrol which will give me a full tank of it!
