I would have to check and see if I could find the owner of the hankies, and return the money, I would never be able to enjoy whatever I bought with the money otherwise.
If I found it loose somewhere like in a wad someone had dropped and it was obvious that it was a lost and found type thing I could handle that.
My mother was always finding money like that. Near Christmas one year she and my dad were shopping and while walking down an aisle, she kicked something, looked down and there was a wad of money. She picked it up and it was $84.00. They didn't see anyone in the aisle and it was about in the middle of the store and not near the checkout, where someonewas looking for their money, so she kept it and bought Christmas gifts.
My mother had money in every nook and cranny. When going through her recipes, there was money. In all of her patterns there was money. She had over $700.00 in change in cans and jars under the bed.
My mother in law had my DH bring a metal box to store at our house when she went into the nursing home. She was in the NH for about 3 yrs. She told my DH to be sure and check behind pictures she had in the box. When she died we were going through the box and found almost $10,000.00 in that box and around $1,000 behind the pictures. One never knows where others hide their money.
I never have mine long enough to hide it, probably have around $30.00 in coins , so my kidos will not be rolling in dough when I pass on. lol.

Wow. $200 is alot of money. Don't you feel you should return it to the place you bought the napkin? It would be a big loss to many families...
