Have you ever lost money on the street?

I have even lost money on the street as an adult. And it happens most times when I am in a hurry and I need to rush. That's why I don't like dealing with cash. But one can't help as most petty businesses require that transactions should always be done with cash.
I also have cases, but due to the fact that I did not have a wallet and the money was sloppy in my pocket, and when I, for example, wanted to take the phone out of my pocket, all this money got stuck together with it and fell out, and I did not notice it
 
I am not a type that lost money like that, I can only remember I lost a money once when I was young and that is due to torn trousers pocket, which I think I keep the money inside my pocket but later detect that it is torn
 
I haven't used cash for a long time, but when I was younger and my parents gave me money, I often lost it. My parents were constantly angry with me, but I couldn't do anything, I don't even know how they fell out of my pocket
I have lost money countless times, there was one that happened when I was in elementary school, I lost my money for lunch and I felt bad thoroughout the day..
 
I have not lost money on the street for any reason. I have been very careful with the way that I handle cash and that involves ensuring that I carry little cash anywhere that I go.

So, the case of losing cash is one that I will never think of at the moment since I hate to lose my funds at any point in time.
 
These days I am totally into digital transactions and don't carry much cash around. But I used to carry them earlier. I have dropped money a few times on streets. Fortunately, it was not a big amount. Once I dropped a big note of 500 Indian rupees while taking our something from my bag. Glad that the person behind me noticed it and brought it to my attention.
I once found two notes of 500 on the street while walking inside our apartment complex. I posted about the same in the community group and asked the owner to take it from me. But no one turned up to claim it for a month. I donated 500 and used the other 500 to order ice creams for my family and friends for a gathering
 
Unfortunately, I have been the victim of losing cash on the street before. It was a sickening feeling reaching into my purse and realizing some bills were missing. I frantically retraced my steps, checking gutters and scanning the ground, but the money was gone for good. Since then, I've been extremely vigilant about keepingmy wallet secure and being aware of my surroundings to prevent any more careless losses.
