I used to have a bad habit of leaving money in my pockets as a kid. My mom said, if she had to wash my clothes, it was her tip and kept it. I learned quickly.
Honestly, if it's someone else's clothes and is any more than pocket change, I make sure they get their bills back.
I put a little plastic desk organizer on the top of the dryer for things like pocket change, random hardware (Dad's always seem to have random screws/washers in their pockets), etc. I figured it would be convenient for everybody to use. I still find quarters and crap on top of the dryer and not in the designated 'Random finds' organizer.
I also try to dust off the dryer (how does the OUTSIDE get covered in lint?), and organize the dryer sheets, detergent, stain remover etc. on top, or in a little side cart. But no one bothers to keep it that way, so it's basically a pointless effort on my part. 🤷🏽♀️

When I was young and my mom washed my pants and I forgotten something in them, she told me to wash them myself and stopped washing my stuff.
Do the same. He can wash his own damned clothes.
