I just started wearing my coats last week, and so far I've found business cards from old acquaintances, a half a roll of wintogreen life savers, the obligatory kleenex, $1, and matching gloves!
For a knitter, I'm surprisingly neglectful of my own mitten/glove needs. So when I find gloves in my pockets that match both the coat and each other, that is a big find.

My sister often finds misplaced and forgotten money in her golf bag at the beginning of each summer.
The only place I might find money is in my kid's jeans pockets. Especially my daughter's. But she's away at college now so I don't find much any longer.
Heck yeah I do!! I find some kind of money every year, even if it's just a penny. I'll do it to purses, too. If I'm thinking about changing up my wardrobe I'll look through my purses to see if there any I want to use again, and I look inside for $$. I've actually been more succesful at finding money in coats and jeans than in purses though.
Since I alone do the laundry for 4 people, my policy is that if it's left in the pocket-it's mine. I spend the time stainsticking the days old stains, turning the clothes the right way, turning them insideout if there is a delicate design, handwashing those that need it, cleaning pockets, washing in the appropriate water temp and cycle speed, hanging according to the label instructions, drying according to drying instructions, folding, and putting away-at least 6 days a week.....a deserve the money that I find!!!!!!

I agree with all the above.
One year I did find my keys that I'd lost (and replaced) the previous season.
