Lump of Cash

[texan connection]

Went hunting a old bridge And did find a silver guarter and a wheat, But I also found a wet lump of bills in a purse with no I.D. I figure around 5 grand, It was in such bad shape, and wet, I dried it over night to try and get it apart as intact as possible. Lost a few 20's, really wondering what kinda questions the bank was gonna ask when I brought in these tatered bills, This morning I was able to get 2 20's serial # they were different, well that was good news, then peeled out a few hunderds, well they were all same serial #'s then a few more 20's and the same results. So now the sheriff has em, glad I dident get to excited. Maybe I should have keepem and made counterfettie

Good thing you looked at the serial numbers. Too bad the cash was not real. For a moment there I thought you foun a wad of stolen money. Did you notice any dates? Just curious. Not your normal find. Man that's still a great find. I guess the owners got scared and pitched them.

I woulda kept one of the 100s and framed it to hang on the wall.

But you did the right thing!

Congrats on the coins!



And yes, the agency for restoration of REAL bills is a Department Of the Treasury, Bureau Of Engraving and Printing.

Here is all the info (there are some photos on this page as well):

My aunt works for the Secret Service and when she's not traveling around with dignitaries and what-have-you, she manages the Secret Service office in Lubbock, Texas. Counterfeiting is the thrust of her job there. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they end up in her hands at some point.
Nice find!

Its a good thing you didn't try to turn them in for fresh ones. You would have been in a world of hurt then!

Interesting find and darn good thing you didn't try to pass any of them off.

Bummer they were fake but you get to tell a cool story about it.

I never thought of keeping just one , They were all dated 1999, the Calvert pd picked em up, and told me that there has been a problem that has been surfacing and then goes away for a while so I reckon its like everyone is figuring some one got questioned, or things got hot so the bills got dumped (Hmmmm maybe the printer is down there somwhere also )
