There were also around 30 one-pound British coins mixed in there somehow.
France is not Sweden (yet), most people would not see finding nearly 500 euros that they didn't know about as a "problem".

If the British coins are the old round unimetallic type then they are a problem, as there is no government institution where you can exchange them and commercial banks will only exchange them for account holders.
