Couple James Kane and Barbie Agostini found a safe with £78k ($100k) in soggy bills during a magnet fishing session in Queens, New York. As the cash isn't linked to any crime, and at least half is identifiable, the US Bureau of Engraving and Printing will redeem the full value. However, the couple will have to wait nine months for the cash to be preserved and replaced by the bureau.
