Answer 1

I had $20,000 invested with a merchant bank and it grew with two annual interest payments. On the day the second interest was added I decided to close my account. The money came through quite ok and I even got a check for $00.03 for the new interest earned. The very next day the merchant bank declared itself bankrupt and its investors got nothing. How lucky was I? I have kept my 3 cent check as a souvenir. I couldn't have cashed it anyway with the bank being broke :)

One time I had to bank $5,000. I rolled the notes into a sausage shape and slipped it into my trouser fob-pocket and headed out for the bank. When I got there the money was gone. I got a nice surprise to find it floating loose inside a roll of my pullover.

Answer 6

I found $180 in a bank machine once, just sitting in the tray where the money comes out. Nobody else around. I ended up reporting it to the bank that operated the machine and they tracked down the person who left it behind (well, that's what they told me anyway).

Most I ever lost - not counting stock market losses - was a $50 bill. It went up in smoke on xmas day after getting mixed up in the wrapping paper that my uncle stuffed in the fireplace.

Answer 10

The stock market is so crooked in these times of Bush, et. al. that I put $5000 into a stock - the company went broke long enough to tell us stockholders we had no claim on them and then started back in business.  Nice, hu?  Lucky I didn't lose more!  Lots of people did!
