The most valuable banknote you've ever found? Post lucky findings too

[gearing]

I find money oftens when Im going out or just staying in the city, most I haveve ever found was a 500 euro ( 538 USD as of today )  banknote in a bakery, amongst the dropped receipts.

Anyone with a similar story?

also: what did you use the money for?

My wallet once fell out of my pocket at a internet cafe with in exchange $80 in it. Some guy went out of his way to return it to me
Funny thing about is it that it happened in a third world country I was in Ghana

Also once forgot my wifi dungle somewhere and when I went back to search for me a girl approached me to give it back

i have many drunken stories lol, leaving my wallet or backpack, ive always found them or were given back lol

by rare i mean, no one uses 500€ in daily life, well except for corrupt politicans or the mafia, so i didnt even know how it looks like, it as just a colourful piece of papaer on the floor

XD

and yeah, i usually find poor people more normal with giving things back, not wanting free gift or anything lol

it is a custom here , if someone brings back your lost stuff you give them something or invite them for a coffee

i left my wallet at the bus station, in cafes & pubs, someone else's tent in a festival and i always got it back untouched, got robbed once on the night bus while not being so sober ( didnt even have any money for the taxi ) they threw away the wallet and someone brought it back on the 23rd of december, with all my documents and ccard ( ccard was changed tho ) it was a good a Christmas present i believe this was 2years ago

indeed, i used to smuggle in alcohol into festivals, best ive ever seen was a belorussian guy, who took out the inside of a watermelon and filled it with vodka, it was quite tasty
