If I can identify who lost the money then I would return it (i.e. if someone was walking around the area looking for it, there was a wallet or id nearby, etc). If there is no way to identify who it belongs to then I will keep it. However, a large amount of money (probably more than a couple hundred I would put more effort to trying to find the owner).
dirty and sticking together = been lost and a) not looked after or b) not found
either way they've been there for a while (as long as the pavement doesn't consist of mud, that is), so they're FFA
as in, i'll kindly take them to the pub of my trust and leave them there. in exchange for booze.

Unless there's a wallet or some way to tell who dropped it, it's pointless not to keep it, regardless of the amount.
Take it if it was in a wallet take it then return the wallet depending on how nice it is hey where i come from finders keepers is law
This reminds me of when I was in High School and a student lost $500 somewhere in the school.
But some beautiful bastard had found the money and given it to the teachers so she was able to get them back.
That was one lucky girl I tell ya.
As for me keeping 40 bucks I find on the side of the road? I'm not really sure, I think it could go either way really.
If it was a wallet I'd definitely turn it.

I'll take it, and then wonder why US dollars were scattered around on the streets of Britain. Then I will go down to my local post office, and change it to pounds.
Then I'll probably buy a KFC bucket, and a pack of Cigarettes, because it won't get me very far.
I don't know what you can get for 40 dollars in the US, but it's a damn sight more than what you can get for it in the UK.

Pretty much this. If I found 200 just laying about I would pick it up. If I found a wallet carrying any money and identification I would give it to the police. If you have money with no means to trace the owner you wont find the owner no matter what you do. I would keep the money if that was the case.GeneralTwinkle said:
I remember when I was in 6th grade me and a few friends were kicking on piles of leaves that had blown over the school yard. All of a sudden my friend finds what was a lot of cash for kids our age. He takes the money and feels really lucky. We mention it to one of our teachers (a really cool guy) who says "oh, that's probably mine, I lost it a couple days ago" as a joke. Then he says that if you tell someone that you found some money and asks someone if they lost it then most people are most likely to say that they lost it. A wallet is different.
If I find pennies (not the actual value; including quarters and dimes) I occasionally pick them up. If I see a bill(note) I will pick it up immediately and say to myself "Today is gonna be a good day". If I see a wallet or purse on the ground I would either leave it or hand it over to the police.
