Thousands of Bills Fall in Japan Garbage
Associated Press / Dec 12
TOKYO - A garbage disposal plant in central Japan has hit the jackpot. Operations at the plant suddenly came to a halt Friday morning when a machine used to crush refuse began spewing out 10,000 yen-bills onto a conveyor belt. ...In total, some $287,000 had found its way into the garbage...No one has come forward to claim the money, and police are trying to track down the owner.
