Austrian police were drying out more than 100,000 euros ($110,000) in cash on Monday after fishing the 500- and 100-euro notes out of the Danube in Vienna, a spokesman said.
Two young men saw the cash in the water on Saturday, stripped and jumped in to collect it before police arrived and gathered up the rest, police spokesman Patrick Maierhofer said.
“The money is real. We don’t know exactly where it came from but we suspect it is proceeds from a crime,” Maierhofer told AFP.
