In situ during low tide.

Must have been blown out to sea and then washed ashore fairly recently. Spent 3 hours looking for more of them by tracing patterns in the winds and tide, but this was the only one I found. Thought I would find the source as a briefcase full of thousands of them, but all I found after 3 hours was a few pennies, a quarter, and half of a one dollar bill.

Great find, but that $100 bill doesn't look like it even got wet based on your photo. Maybe it just blew onto the beach from somewhere.

Looks awfully crisp and flat to have been in the water very long. Are you sure it is real?

I picked one up that countless people were walking over to get inside to a sale that I was trying to get away from. Nobody looks down, I figured it was fake but it wasn't. As I walked towards it, I expected someone to pick it up but no one paid any attention to it. I'd call it a blessing

Good payday for you! Congrats!
Lady at the beach the other day, told me her husband found 2 $20's floating in the seaweed.
Men will swim with loose money in their pockets, never realizing that stuff can and will float up and out of them pockets.
I'm always watching the seaweed in the water for bills.

When I first saw it I thought it was fake but when I picked it up it was clearly real with holograms and everything. It was clearly not in the water long but had for sure washed in from the ocean as it was wet and the sun was drying it out along side the seaweed. Went looking for the source but never found it. Maybe somewhere is a huge stash of $100 bills.
