Yes it is. The money you found was lost by someone. The someone who lost the money is the person who owns it. The best thing for you is to hand over the found money to the law enforcement agency (cops) so that they can hand it over to the original owner of the same.

You should go to the human resources department of your work and give them the money that you found, tell them where you found it as well. Do not tell anyone about the money or they could end up claiming it just because they want to keep it. If the human resources department doesn't have anyone claim the money within a set amount of time you will get to keep it for good!
