Buying a suitcase from a second-hand store, the man suddenly found a set of new bills in a zip bag, hidden under the inner lining.
“In the bag there are more than 20,000 Bangladeshi Taka (about 5 million VND). I am so lucky. The amount is even more than the price of the suitcase,” a barber (undisclosed) in Ohio shared online society.

The amount of money picked up was not too much, but it made this person extremely excited. He thinks that maybe the previous owner of the suitcase hid private money inside and forgot to check the remaining items before liquidating it.

This is not the first case of someone finding money or valuable property from old items.
In March 2017, a woman who inherited a house from an elderly relative in Towcester, Northants (UK) was stunned when she opened a suitcase forgotten in the house.
According to the description, the old suitcase weighed several tens of kilograms because it was full of money, including: about 100 ancient gold coins worth 200 pounds each (5.7 million VND); 17 silver bars, each weighing one kilogram, cost 450 pounds; and many valuable gold and silver coins.
The woman said this could be the money her relative had accumulated over a long time. Currently, the value of these assets has increased about 4 times compared to the time of accumulation, estimated to be up to 35,000 pounds.
