Returning worthless property

Hi,

One is not obligated to return property which is worth less than the equivalent of a Talmudic Prutah. This is roughly equivalent to between 5 and 10 cents, American. (It's based on a volume of silver, and it fluctuates with the price of silver.)

(Code of Jewish Law Choshen Mishpat 262:1)

Chag Atzmaut sameach,
Mordechai
