A Man and His Money

The man named the exact sum lost, was handed his stash and took the cash to a bank. An 80-year-old merchant has recovered his savings after accidentally depositing $95,000,000 in a trash bin in northeastern Spain. The elderly merchant arrived at the Star Market hours later to say he had accidentally accidentally discarded his savings the night before, thinking it was a bag of old bills and receipts. Garbage collectors found a bag stufed with peseta notes of various denominations and submited it to town hall oficials, police said.
