Matthew Tried To Save What He Could Of The Money
Matthew set to work trying to salvage what he could of the water damaged money, pulling bills apart and setting them aside to dry. The project was tedious and took several days. As he soon discovered, he wasn’t able to save a large chunk of the treasure.
The bills were falling apart and were too ruined to be counted as legal currency. Even excluding the ruined billed, Matthew never expected the sum of the dried bills.
