You find a £20 note on the street...

I wouldn't keep it anyway. Not sure about others. And guessing people would need to say where it was dropped and maybe some rough details otherwise you could walk in daily and say you dropped £50.
Well yeah I take it you have to but the odds of the right person getting it back are so slim that it would be pointless handing it in. If I saw someone drop it then I'd flag them down and give it to them.

Get the imposter!
£20 is like a load of beers (potentially, if you don't live in London)

I never buy beer
Plus, it's someone else's £20, so I'm not entitled to it.

Pizza?
Chocolate?
Takeaway?
That could feed me for a month

Possibly, but the standard of proof is very low, you only need to believe that the note cannot be traced back to the original owner.
As a side point, I think that £20 is not enough for the original owner to go to the police station.
Perhaps something more substantial will prompt a search.

How much would it take you losing to go to the police station to try and ask then?

tbh if they go in and say "i lost £20 note at 1:35ish on the high street on monday" and you say you found it at 1:40 then that's a good chance. I don't think you get people "trying it on" daily since the time/rough location would probably be needed.

Again what kind of student are you
But the owner is never going to see it again. It's either you or someone else who will pick it up. May as well be you.

Haha perhaps not the usual kind. If it was a giant wad of cash, I might give it a second look, but the sight of a £20 note won't even cause me to break stride, turn my head or get any ideas, I don't need it.

New thread needed i reckon.
How much money you would need to find before you handed it in?
1p to £4.99.
£5-19.99
£20 - 49.99
£50-99.99
£100-199.99
£200-499.99
£500+
I'd never hand it in, lol

But that is the point, if I lost the note I wouldn't have a time or location. I don't think many people would actually go to the station to claim money they had lost

I've handed in less than that at a police station when I found a tenner that hadn't been taken from a cash machine. Given that the machines usually take the money back after a few moments I figured the original owner wasn't far away. I stayed for a few moments to see if they came back but they didn't and the police station was less than 5 minutes walk away. Of course nobody goes to a police station to ask if anyone handed in £10 so 30 days later it was mine - guilt free!

Give it to the Palestine appeal
