What is the amount that must be returned to the owner of money that I found 24 years ago, valued at 500 Jordanian Dinars, knowing that I knew its owner at the time but did not return it to him, and I was young, and I want to return it now but I don't know how much to return to him after all this time, and he is unaware of the matter?

The money must be returned to its owner when he is known. If a long period has passed, one must repent for the delay. Regarding the amount that must be returned, the equivalent amount of money in the same currency must be given back if it is available. If the original currency is no longer in circulation, then its value in the new currency must be given, based on its worth at the time the original currency ceased to exist.
