Dymchurch is a lovely place to go on holiday, especially when you're young. I went on holiday there in the early 70s with my Mum & Dad and the rest of the family. We had a frabjuous time. 
This money thing is really quite interesting. I don't think that any of us really know how we would react if it did actually happen. It's a bit like someone asking how would you feel if....and then coming up with some strange senario. You really can't say.
I, like Wanderlust, found some money on the floor of a shop - I think it was 100 baht. Gave it straight to the shop owner - didn't even think about it. His floor, his shop, his money.
So if you're honest, you feel that you're a sap, or a wimp, if you keep the money you may be patted on the back as joining the rest in the hot bit or vilified for being a dishonest citizen. Strange old world...

Sorry to go off topic here, but it's extremely important. 
New Beach Holiday centre aswell, from memory (I was only about 10, and the memory's a bit fuzzy). It was a large caravan park and it had a super large swimming pool. I learnt to dive there.

Getting back on topic (although I too have been on holiday in Dymchurch!) I think my logic is that if i lost some money and retraced my steps to find it, I would like to think that if someone found it they would be honest and do the same as me. In the instance in the shop I figured it may well have been their money anyway, dropped on the way off the shop floor. Or maybe I just believe in karma...  |

well if i found your wallet (or anybodies for that matter!) i would either return it to your address or to your bank depending on what i.d was in there.
if there is no i.d then the next stop would be the police station.
no reward or thanks expected 
if it was a packet of money found in the street, no address etc, i wouldnt stand around waiting for someone to come & claim it & i wouldnt take it to the police station for fear of it ending up in their xmas party fund!
the chances are this money is more than likely dodgy one way or another anyway!!
in the original story, if family members send items to a charity shop without first checking the contents of pockets & boxes, maybe they weren't meant to find or have that money?
i would though sit on it for a while before deciding a course of action
the same instance would apply in the shop for me too, i would just hand it to the shopkeeper
