    1p and upwards. It's the only chance I get to have money in my pocket, what with the child and the missus between them...

    Best find was a £50 note a few years back when I was broke and doing dodgy door to door sales to make ends meet.

    1p

    never ever ever reject money of any value coz the big money sees how you treat its little brothers and sisters and will avoid you in the future if you reject them.

    Its not just 1p its 1p tax free which means theres no corporation tax, ACT, PAYE or NI to pay on it or more importantly by picking it up and putting it in your pocket you have got money and denied that fat-scottishp-c nut any tax.

    Any amount silver - even 5p (at the risk of busting a fingernail). Don't usually bother with coppers.

    My best find, and my guiltiest, I must admit, was picking up a wad of £20 notes from someones' back pocket (their wages, probably). It was from someone who was causing me problems in the house I was living in at the time. Don't regret it really because he deserved all he got as he was noisy, inconsiderate and abusive toward me at times when I was trying to study. He knocked on my door later on and asked if anyone had seen a large sum of money lying on the floor. I lied convincingly, as I recall.

    Somehow after that his noise and inconsideration never got me down quite so much.

    I can see there are quite a few Yorkshire men on here. The types who would peel an orange in their pockets.

    I go for every penny!

    Thought I'd found a fiver once, turned out to be a 50 Thai Bhart note. They are plastic with a see-through bit! http://www.thebanknotestore.com/worl...nd/thai102.jpg
