The law is that anyone who picks it up is guilty of felony 3.

It is probably a scam somewhere.
Just turn it in to the police.

Cash it and send the proceeds to your nearest Tea Party candidate.

I prince in Nigeria wants to transfer $30 million in my bank for a little while, and I’ll get to keep 10% but I’m wondering if could be dirty money.

A money order is kinda like cash. I think legally you are required to turn it in to the police. Also they are traceable so if the person reports it lost it may not have any value.

It’s probably a fake anyway.
I would never take a money order for payment unless it was a U.S. Postal Service Money Order, and that’s because they have some hard to fake security features and I know what a real USPS MO looks like.

Watch “No Country For Old Men” and then do what you think is best.

The law is that anyone who picks it up is guilty of felony 3. Seriously? How's that? How is it different than a $100 bill that can't be reunited with its owner?
Serious question, that I don't know the answer to.

Could be from a batch identified as stolen. Don’t get your fingerprints all over it.

I believe that it is like all other found valuables; turn it in to the police and if no one claims it after 10 days it is yours.

It could belong to a single mother who needs it to pay her bills. Consider contacting the establishment where it was found to see if they can assist in finding the owner.

Dude, why even ask? Just turn it in and forget about it. It is not yours. Who cares about the law. Ever heard of ethics?

Is it like a check that has to be signed by a particular person? No. They don't ask for ID when you buy it. Where they bought it puts in the amount. Is the parking lot attached to a mall? If so, one of the stores must sell them. Maybe they have a sign up that someone lost one.
Or is it like a $100 bill that can be used by anyone?
If the TO: line is empty, it is.

Cash it and donate the money to your fav charity.

Maybe it was on the way to Mexico to bring in more roofers.

Check the “found property” statutes for your state.
