In all honesty, Iā€™d pick it up and thank the universe (or whoever or whatever) for looking out for me šŸ˜… also love your take on credit cards. Thanks for answering my question, and look forward to reading more Q&As in the future!

My mom told me that any money found had to be donated, in case it carried bad spirit or karma.

Iā€™ll pick up anything over $1, but will try to give that as a tip, or donation, or to a person in need

Ooh I loved this Q&A post! I am always picking up change from the ground and that banknote you saw would have gone straight in my pocket, without hesitation! šŸ˜Ž Here in Ireland there is also a return scheme for empty plastic bottles and aluminium cans to get a bit of money back, so I pick those off the pavement, too because it's free money and I'm saving the environment!

Hell yes I would have picked that $20 bill up. Score! No hesitation. Although I would immediately look around to see if any potential owners were nearby that might have dropped it, i.e. someone who's fumbling with their pockets, a mom/dad struggling with kids, anyone who looks like they just passed by that spot. If not, then that bills does in my pocket and I get the biggest kick out of my day. I put it with all the other found money. Finding a penny even makes me feel like I found a fortune and it goes into the pile too.
