$17K Found Under Old NJ Slot Machines

It's the casino equivalent of reaching under your couch cushions and finding a buck or so in loose change.

Only the take at the former Sands Casino Hotel topped $17,000 worth of coins that fell under or around slot machines over the past three decades.

The casino was closed last November and will be torn down later this year to make way for a new gambling hall. The 2,350 machines had not been moved in the 26 years the Sands operated in Atlantic City, so workers removing them expected to find some stray cash.

Just how much, however, was a surprise. It was $17,193.34, to be exact... entire article

we did not find that much but we found a couple hundred in change all around in a property we bought that had been a convenience store there were pennies nickles and dimes under all the fixtures
;-) the best find was someone had left the change in an old till in the store room! no dollars but about 20 bucks in quarters

Just makes you wonder if we'd all just go through our own homes just how much money would we find?

My grandmother was famous for putting money in her winter coats. She literally had money all over the house. She was always saving for a rainy day. If the rainy day came she probably would not have remembered where it was.

When I declutter, I find a lot of things that I've been looking for that I replaced because I thought they were lost.
