A type of prank involving a tied dollar bill, or some valuable object or even food, left on the ground and then pulled away when someone attempts to pick it up. May be used as a lure. Compare Coin-on-a-String Trick, where the victim (usually a vending machine) believes they've ended up with the money. Often a form of Motivation on a Stick. |

Toontown Online has the Lure Gag track, which offers $1, $5, and $10 bills you can use to bait a singular Cog. In return, the gags have low accuracy, and you have to grind in order to get said bills. | |

Great Teacher Onizuka has a variant; Urumi puts a 10,000-yen bill on a small string-and-stick attached to Onizuka's headband, and tells him he can have the money if he catches it in his mouth while bicycling at 60 kph (with her riding on the back of the bike, of course). | |

The Simpsons: Mr. Burns does it in one episode to bait children: dangling a large denomination bill on a string out of the window of his limousine and then driving away as Bart tries to pick it up. In "How Lisa Got Her Marge Back", Bart tries it himself with a dollar bill and a special fishing line. Nobody falls for it, with Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel outright saying that even he's not that gullible. Shortly after giving up, Bart notices a quarter on the ground and tries to pick it up, but it is glued there by a bunch of teenagers from Riverdale. |

In the Lilo & Stitch: The Series episode "PJ", Lilo and Stitch first meet the titular Experiment 133 (PJ) as they almost arrive at home when said experiment tricks Stitch into chasing a twenty dollar bill on a fish line, causing Stitch to jump in a mud puddle. Moments later in the kitchen, Pleakley tries to pull the same prank on himself, holding the line with the bill in one hand and pulling it away when he tries to reach it with his other hand. Although he easily amuses himself, no one else laughs, though PJ then sucks up the line and the bill through his Gag Nose almost immediately thereafter, causing Pleakley to wonder where it went and Lilo and Stitch to laugh. | |

Disney Mouse and Duck Comics: Mickey Mouse's nephews Mortie and Ferdie once placed a purse on the floor to pull a prank on Donald Duck, who tried to prank them back by picking a quarter from his pockets and pretended to take it from the purse. The boys cried for the money and Donald told them the money wasn't theirs. Unfortunately for him, a random passerby overheard the conversation and believed Donald robbed the kids. The passerby socked him and gave them the quarter. On April Fool's day, Huey, Dewey and Louie placed a dollar bill coming off a wallet (found at the city dump) and dropped it with a string to pull a prank on Donald. The string didn't work, allowing Donald to keep the wallet and the dollar. Later on, they tried something similar with an empty wallet and no strings (they reasoned Donald wouldn't need to see any money this time). Unlike them, Donald knew those old wallets had secret pockets and decided to search them for money. He found a ten-dollar bill. |

One episode of The Kids from Room 402 started with Mr. Besser falling victim to the classic dollar bill with a string prank. The prankster later placed a coin with sellotape for another prank. At the end, someone dropped a ten-dollar bill and Mr. Besser, wrongfully assuming it was another prank, didn't try to pick it up. | |
