Actually Markit....you are correct.
When we established what the situation was about we made a PA announcement "If any passenger has substantial US$ cash and wishes to help..please let yourself be known to a crew member"
A little London Jewish fellow came to the flight deck with a roll of US$ tied with a rubber band...he threw it down. My Captain said he'd count and sign a receipt but the fella replied "Later...let's get the f**ck outta here.":eagerness:
