I will go far out of my way to return a lost item if I have any chance of figuring out whose it is. However, while I've never found random money on the street, I imagine it would usually be impossible to know who dropped it. If it were in a closed environment like an office building, I'd let the person at the front desk know that I'd found "some money" and I'd return it to the person who could accurately report how much they'd lost. But again, it's all hypothetical. Have all you people really found random money lying around? Who are all these irresponsible people dropping all their money?

I always use plastic, so I never get handed incorrect change. But I've had incorrect deposits into my bank account before, and I reported those (though I did also figure they'd eventually notice anyway.)
