This is a very neat find.

Hm. Too bad they were smart enough to take the things to a coin shop.
One of our RCC locals could have had a really great "Found in
Circulation" thread had they just deposited the lot at the bank!

Also a shame that at least one of the finders wasn't a collector. That
lot would be a dream come true for any bank note collector!

I noticed this amazing find made the TV news, too. I saw film and interviews on
our local news tonight but not on any of the network news shows. (All three
networks did manage to carry the same footage of the escaped bisons in MD,
though) The three guys who found the currency stash said they were going to
sell most of it and use the proceeds to support their rock band. What a waste!
