More than likely put out by a senior if so i hope it's returned-if not it should be "finders-keepers!

"Oh! What if it was part of the money someone took from that bank vault in Miyagi"?
I would still do the right thing and recycle it for them.

aloha japan I tend to agree with you, I hope he receives it if it isn't claimed. but I doubt that will happen. Maybe someday his honesty will be rewarded.

Why the hell would the trash guy tell any one what he found. He should have just pocketed it.

Why throw money away?!
Because it was not "new ones"! You know Japanese houses are small, so throw out old stuff when you get something new. Like money.
Please throw it my way next time, I'll recycle it for you.
