I've been helping my mother clean up her house to get ready to sell it and helping her go through her deceased husband's things. He had about 3 storage units worth of stuff so it's been a time consuming process.

Today we started on the last and largest pile. She's been finding money squirelled away as she goes through things, just in random places. Today she was going through a box of what looked like greeting cards. Her husband had inherited all of his father's things and he did not throw anything away. Long story short, there were wedding cards in envelopes in that pile and there was money inside a lot of them. His parents were married in 1949. I just thought it was crazy that wedding gift money had never even left the envelope in over 75 years.

I'm not sure if any of this might be worth a touch more than face value, the $100 bill fooled me until I looked closer, it's creased but looks and feels brand new. There's also a bunch of $10 and $20 bills from 1950 mixed in, some are exceptional, most not. Advice appreciated!

Edit: Just to clarify, only the 100 dollar bill came out of the wedding congratulation envelope. If you look at the date on the 100 you can see it's 1934. The other ones were mixed in, it was a pretty big box of envelopes. Oh well, you can believe or disbelieve, I was in a bit of disbelief myself.

This is George Michael. Literally. He looks badass here.
