You find $100 on the street. There's no one around. Do you keep it?

If it was in front of a store you could speak with the store owner and let them know you found "something of value" - don't tell them what it is - and ask if anyone has been looking for something.
healthy intuition

If the owner could not be found, I would keep the $100, but since it was "found" money, I would also consider making a charitable contribution of some reasonable portion of it. If we all practiced to "pay it forward" a bit more in our lives, this world would be a better place.

It's extremely unlikely you'll ever find the original owner for bills dropped on the street, and who would you "turn it in" to? There's a pretty good chance that person will simply pocket it.
If it's really, REALLY bothering you, give it to charity, or directly to someone who could use it more than you. But hey, these are tough economic times - ya gotta take your luck where you find it!

We put up a sign that asked "lost something of value?"
We waited 2 weeks (didn't get a call)
We split the money and I bought a coloring book and the biggest set of Marvy coloring pens.
I believe you should keep it as long as you let give them a chance to get it back.

I'd bet it was after, and this find is a work of some good spirit.

M$A friend of mine once found a bunch of 20 dollar bills on the ground, several thousand dollars that seemed to just be sitting near a tree. He was walking down the sidewalk counting it when a police officer saw him holding a wad of bills.
The police officer rolled down his window and immediately told him to hand over the cash, because there had been a bank robbery and the suspects had come down that road.
He handed them the cash he had in his hand but kept the rest. This, of course, is a situation that requires a bit more ethical consideration =)

Haha. Just for future reference, tell your friend to never count money on the street. Not because he could be stopped by a cop but because he could've easily gotten mugged!
Funny you should say that, because he was a kid at the time, and was also in the worst section of DC when he was "pulled over" on the sidewalk. Kids.
for this same reason, you never count your money at the ATM. Get your cash and go away fast (especially at night and alone). Even if the money is not complete, there is nothing you can do while standing in front of the ATM.

So in other words, if the owner makes himself/herself known - I'd give the money back without a doubt.
In this scenario, it sounds like the owner isn't around nor is anyone else, and we don't know who it belongs too, so you might as well pick it up.

Finding the rightful owner of an unmarked bill is impossible. If I found a wallet with money in it I would return it in a heart beat.

A friend of mine lost her wallet once and she got it back but without any money in it! I'm lucky enough to have never lost my wallet. But you're right. If you find a wallet the first thing you need to do is look for an ID and turn it in/call the person.
Oh and don't take the money out! :-D
Unless it was illegal money thrown away from a robbery of some sort. But either way money is insured by the FDIC if its stolen. But for your comment its like picking up a quater on the ground. No foul play was induice by anybody.. Free cash..

However, I've turned in wallets and other such things, because the rightful owner can identify his wallet by how it looks, ID that's in it (hopefully), how much cash was in it, et cetera.

Wallets, cell phones... All that I've found and returned. because it's easy. A cell phone you can just call the last number dialed or the one that says Home or Mom or Dad and a wallet is pretty easy if it has ID. If it doesn't have ID or a credit card which is unlikely then it's pretty much the same dilemma as finding loose cash which is what happened to me.
Wallets, cell phones and purses (I've found a couple of each) I give to the police or security.
If the cash was a large amount or identifiable in some way (wad of cash with a monogrammed money clip for instance) I'd take to the police.

I would feel horrible losing 20 dollars, I would also feel bad if I lost 1 dollar. I've lost a dollar before, and that felt really bad because it was the only dollar I had to take the bus, it was embarrassing having to take money from strangers to pay for that ride home.
You should keep the money, and feel good that it wasn't $1,000.
My opinion is you should have just left it on the street, if you didn't want this moral dilemma in the first place.

I agree with this, if I lost $100 I would probably return to where I lost it and would ask the closest business if anybody returned it.
