If it were possible to collect all the $$ on streets and sidewalks in the US-do you think youd have a million?

If you were to collect a million dollars in pennies, that would be 100 million pennies. Assuming you could average a penny every minute, it would take you 100 million minutes or about 1.67 million hours or about 138,889 days (assuming you looked for 12 hours a day) or about 380.52 years. So at the low end it looks pretty impossible. This scenario assumes finding only $7.20 per day.\n\nIf you could up it to $68.50 per day, you could accomplish the task in 40 years.\n\nIf you could up it to $137 per day, you could accomplish the task in 20 years.\n\nSo...it is theoretically possible, but you would have to be mighty lucky.

I wouldn't mind being a millionaire.  \nI'd definitely retire and travel in\nour motor home.

well do you have any money?

Yes this is true. We could have billions of money and still want more. People always want, want, want . They never think of the third world and be grateful for what you have even if it mightn't be alot compared to what others have

Billions, probably.  But, there's no real way to answer this question, since the value of the land would also be adversely impacted by paving over the park and ruining the views.

Man, that's a really tough question.\n\nMy first idea was to rob the bullion depository at Fort Knox, but it turns out that they don't hold quite a billion dollars worth of gold.  I suppose if you ripped off the depository at the Denver Mint on the same day you'd make it.  The first link below tell you how much gold Fort Knox has.  \n\nMy second idea was that if you bought a CD worth NEARLY a billion dollars from an outfit that compounds interest daily, then you could go over a billion in one day.  For example, if you bought a Capfed one year CD worth $999,892,615, the interest accumulated over one day would bring you up to a billion.  I've included a link for Capfed and another for an interest calculator below.\n\nAlso, I note that the US Government awards 235 billion dollars worth of contracts a year.  So I've included a link to an article about how to win government contracts.  Of course you'd have to win a pretty big contract, but it shouldn't be that hard.  Do you like to pick up trash, for instance?  Ashbrit won a 1.1 billion dollar contract for doing just that in areas hit by Hurricane Katrina.  So I've included a link to an article about that as well. Of course, you'd have to pick up all of that trash in an awful hurry.\n\nOr what about this?  You could become a trillionaire and then make some really bad investments and lots of contributions to charity and drop down to a billionaire in a day.\n\nIt sure seems like there are plenty of ways to become a billionaire in one day.  I'm sure if you apply some creative thinking to the problem you will come up with many ways that I haven't even thought of yet.

if i knew before i left the store then, yes, i would own up.  if i discovered it after i would not go out of my way to go back.  however, to keep my karma clear i would make sure to do something nice with the money -- not nice like get myself a manicure, nice like donate it to one of those charity boxes or something.

Personally, I LOVE the idea of adopting a highway or street. You can do this in the USA and Canada, but even if you can't "officially" do it in some other country -- why don't you do it anyway?\n\nJust go out every Saturday and pick up the trash along the road (remember your gloves!!!) and you'll certainly be beautifying your environment.
