In the US, you are supposed to turn it over to the state, and the government holds it for an extremely long time until it's owner claims it.

It was a rent payment to a landlord with a Muslim-sounding name. I contested it by sending in their form with the case number that they'd provided me. They responded saying they had no case matching my info. I gave up before investing more time because I thought it was unlikely to end well for the amount of effort I'd have to invest. I started directly depositing money orders into his account. No problems after that. The USA government profited one month of my rental rate. I nearly got evicted when my rent wasn't delivered. No explanation was ever given to me.

- pc86 3y agoThis isn't "I lose a dispute with the state," it's "I hit a pebble-sized roadblock and immediately gave up." I'm glad that a month's rent isn't a lot of money to you but this probably shouldn't inform your opinion on how it is to interact with the state.
