Big money....
When I was 11 and living in Germany, I found a DM 500 note in the NAAFI, in a little plastic folder, just lying on the floor.
It would have been worth about £125 at the exchange rate in 1982.
Shoulda fucking kept it but like a twat I handed it in. Mind you I'd have struggled to spend it as I think my old trout would have noticed me handing over 500 marks/buying tons of crap I couldn't have normally afforded on my five marks a week pocket money. Still, at least I got the warm fuzzy feeling of being honest. Yeah coz that really made up for it.

I used to get 5 DM a week too.
I would use it to buy Lego and other child related shit. Once I found a purse, belonging to one of my Mothers friends, that contained the money they needed for their holiday back to the UK. They gave Mum ten Marks for me for giving it back when my Mother returned it.

Have a click because I don't have five Marks to hand.
