Zev Goldstein and his friends were walking from breakfast Thursday morning outside Fasman Yeshiva High School. in Skokie, when they noticed bills flying everywhere.
The two saw a man stuffing his pockets but when they approached him asking what to do, he ran off. The young men walked further and found an armored truck outside of a bank across the street. On the windy day, money had escaped from the back. Because of how windy it was money was literally every where.
The two of them scrambled and managed to gather $790 worth of small bills and handed them over to bank employees. After the incident the group of teens have been praised by national news networks.
