Well, after reading this entire thread, I think I am a lucky guy.
Since the euro started in 2.002, I have found all sort of coins lying on the streets (just one of two of each, no more)(1, 2 and 5 cent, much more frequent) or maybe in parking machines or public phones.
It is fun, but the only 2 euro greek coin I've got so far was found by me in one of these public phones, and it was in not very bad conditions!!
As for the bills, I have found a couple of fivers and one of 10, 20 and 50... But no more. Of course, I entered them into here and (of course) no hits at all
Now, I am eager to find some 100, 200 or 500
... That would be ok, even if I was not be able to enter the codes on here 
. The problem is that people usually look after these bills very carefully (it seems to me... 
).

Hihi. What goes around, comes around: This morning, when walking towards the subway station, I found an utterly wrinkly 5€ note which was sticking out of a candy bar wrapping. What really makes it special was the fact that several months ago I was on the same spot on my way to work and started running in order to catch a bus, when I felt my GSM fell out of my pocket. I stopped, picked it up, but at the same time I must have lost a note in that was also in my pocket.
So, financially I'm in balance, but I'm sort of missing one potential hit because I hadn't registered the note I lost earlier.

Last time I found lost money, I was swimming, but in the Atlantic Oceanfoofighta wrote:As you are writing crazy stories about finding money, here is mine:
My brother found a tenner in a SWIMMING POOL in Italy!
People are so intelligent and take their money with them in their swimming clothes...
That was really crazy, how can someone be so lucky?!?
It´s was a 
Two summers ago, I found a CHF 20 note swimming in the North-Sea, in the Province of Zeeland! That's quite special, isn't it? Maybe the note has travelled all the way from Switzerland floating in the Rhine!! But perhaps even more special: I had just come back from a 5-month stay in Switzerland for my studies!!! So the note was really waiting there for me!
The note I spent during the next holiday in Switzerland with my boyfriend, and we had a good meal from it!
No euro-notes found so far! But maybe my lucky day will come!
