A character has just acquired a vast sum of money. Maybe he won the lottery, inherited a fortune, or knocked over a bank. Instead of safely investing his newfound wealth, buying something nice, or doing anything even remotely useful with it, he instead tosses handfuls of cash at anyone lucky enough to be walking by. Implies the character literally has more money than he knows what to do with. It might also be part of a Money Fetish. A variation can happen in a Chase Scene, where a character throws out money for the crowd to block his pursuers, often for the rule of Throwing the Distraction. For people who weaponize coins as weapons see Abnormal Ammo and Improbable Weapon User. Compare Money to Burn. See also Money Slap and Conspicuous Consumption. |

In A Certain Magical Index and A Certain Scientific Railgun, Mikoto Misaka's signature Railgun attack has her use her electrical powers to propel a coin at several times the speed of sound. Of course, she can use anything made of metal for this, but coins are convenient. Some close-ups show she's not actually using coins but game arcade tokens which she buys by the bucket load. Presumably the bulk discount means that its cheaper than using an equivalent number of coins. | |

CSI: NY: In "Brooklyn 'Til I Die," a man tosses handfuls of high value gambling chips into the crowd to create a distraction to allow him to escape the casino. This turns out to be part of a role-playing game. In another episode, a bartender throws the cash from a tip jar into the crowd to hinder the cops from getting to him while he runs out the back door. |

Other games include a similar ability, though its usefulness varies. (For example, in Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, while a Black Magic user can easily hit the initial damage cap at middling levels, Gil Toss fails to scratch 3000 at level 99, which is just sad.) | |

Parodied on The Simpsons. Monty Burns, wanting to become popular, throws silver dollars at passersby, causing a lot of property damage and numerous injuries. This is a parody of John D. Rockefeller who was probably best known in his later life for the practice of giving dimes to children wherever he went... including, canonically, Scrooge McDuck. Earlier in the same episode beloved billionaire Arthur Fortune tosses out dollars to the people at his mall grand opening. | |

In the between wars arc of the Timeline-191 novels, the Hitler Expy throws away a million dollar bill during a rally as a way of poking fun at the Confederacy's economy and its out of control inflation - the bill he had thrown away had the buying power of a pre-war one dollar bill at best. | |

Major Grom: Plague Doctor. Our hero is introduced running through a cloud of rubles flying out the back of a stolen armoured car he's chasing (on foot). The robbers then shut the door before they lose the lot. A deliberate version occurs when the vigilante Plague Doctor dumps a pile of money and bullion around a corrupt banker before blowing her up and sending it scattering across the street. He then opens her bank vault and encourages the Russian people to help themselves to the wealth she stole. | |

In Heroic Myth, Bell wins a massive amount of casino chips thanks to his innate Luck skill before intentionally knocking them over to get the nearby adventurers and gods to pounce on them. This distracts the Ganesha Familia long enough for Ryuu to finish her battle with Terry Cervantes' goons and rescue the girls enslaved in the VIP area. Luckily for Bell, this doesn't dent his bottom line despite losing tens of millions of Valis, as he'd already cashed in an enormous number of chips earlier. | |

Scrooge McDuck once ran for town treasurer and reluctantly conceded he'd need to spend money to advertise his campaign. He then went to Donald's for suggestions but didn't find anyone there. Fearing someone might steal that money, Scrooge hid it at some vase, failing to realize it wasn't a vase but a tuba, and then left to look for Donald. Donald then returned and decided to play the tuba to advertise Scrooge's campaign, unknowingly throwing away the money. Well, it did bring voters. However, it was never mentioned in any story again. | |

Parodied in Stella (US), where Michael, Michael and David become fabulously wealthy from farming the floor of their apartment, and celebrate by tossing wads of cash out of a limousine. They later find the bank has foreclosed on the apartment because they threw away all of their money and couldn't pay off their loan. | |

Rome: Quintus Pompey and his men turn up at the house of Lucius Vorenus, demanding to know what he's done with the gold taken from Rome's treasury. Vorenus is quite truthfully denying he knows about any gold when Pullo turns up on a litter, dressed in fine clothes and tossing coins in the air. After sizing up the situation, Pullo tosses another handful of gold coins so Pompey's thugs start scrabbling for them, giving Vorenus the chance to pound Pompey's head into the table. When Pullo suggests they take the money and run, Vorenus has to point out that Pullo fulfilling this trope means that all of Rome knows that he has the money, so they'll never get away with it. Pullo then has to hand the gold over to Caesar. In the first episode the spoils of war in Gaul have been brought back to Rome, and Caesar's legionaries are shown throwing gold jewelry to the cheering crowd. Opponents of Caesar are disquieted by the sight, aware that he's currying favour with the populace. |

The opening of the second episode of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1981) describes how the planet Earth had a problem - that most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were posed for the problem, most of which involved the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy. A businessman (Creator Cameo by franchise creator Douglas Adams) is shown going to a bank and acquiring a number of said small green pieces of paper. The narration continues that many were increasingly of the idea that they'd made a mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. Some said that even the trees had been a bad move and that no one should ever have left the oceans. At which point the businessman (shown stark-naked from the rear), heads into the ocean, tossing away his small green pieces of paper as he goes. | |

In Persona, the confusion status effect has a random chance of making a party member decide to "waste money". Which translates to throwing away a large chunk of your money (complete with an animation which surrounds them with bank notes). Oddly enough, monsters under the effect do the same thing (although not with your money, fortunatly). | |

It's later revealed the dropped money came from a bank robbery and the thieves couldn't spend it because the authorities knew the series number of every bill so they pulled that trick hoping they'd be long gone by the time the authorities found out the recovered money came from the bank robbery. If not for Blue Falcon exchanging part of the recovered money for unrelated purposes, it might have worked. | |

Lucifer. Lucifer is not impressed by a street performer posing as a fire-and-brimstone preacher, so he gives the man a glimpse of his Nightmare Face. The man flees in panic throwing away his collection tin, the money from which is immediately gathered up by an appreciative audience, who then applaud Lucifer's "act." Lucifer says he not only does this, he also sets the money on fire as well just to enjoy people's reactions. Detective Chloe Decker is chasing a bagman around a corner, only to find herself running through a cloud of money with the bag abandoned on the ground, as Lucifer and Amenadiel have snatched him. |

Final Fantasy: Samurai in Final Fantasy V can toss coins to deal damage, with higher number of gold thrown boosting damage accordingly. Most players tend to abuse this ability to easily kill the final boss, as by the final battle, they literally have no more need for money. Other games include a similar ability, though its usefulness varies. (For example, in Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, while a Black Magic user can easily hit the initial damage cap at middling levels, Gil Toss fails to scratch 3000 at level 99, which is just sad.) |

Polnareff's Silver Chariot intercepts it on the way and bisects it vertically; destroying it and leaving J. Geil himself crippled and helpless. | |

Blake's 7: In "Gold," our heroes discover that the Briefcase Full of Money that they risked their lives for (10 billion in Zerok currency) has been rendered invalid thanks to the machinations of Servalan. They toss the now useless notes in Avon's face, and the episode ends on him laughing maniacally. In "Weapon," The Chessmaster hired by Servalan receives a report revealing a Spanner in the Works that will cause his plan to fail. Realising he has to abandon everything and flee before Servalan returns, he gives away his expensive chess computer to the officer who brought him the report and (inadvertently) saved his life. |

In Elona, a random event you can get while walking around is an encounter with a rich man throwing coins everywhere. Even in the depths of high-level dungeons. The amount of money you get is proportionate to the amount you are currently carrying, so you'll get a decent amount of gold if you were carrying 1000000 GP, but barely anything if you were only carrying a few thousand. | |

The Book of Boba Fett. After fighting the boss of a slaughterhouse and his goons, The Mandalorian finds the slaughterhouse workers blocking his exit, all of them wielding sharp cleavers. Mando points out that there's a pile of New Republic credits on the table of their late boss that the Mandalorian has left untouched, and they can have it if they let him pass unmolested. Given that Mando is holding their boss's head in a sack and has just demonstrated he's a One-Man Army, they wisely take up the offer. | |

In the Mistborn novels, one of the possible Allomantic powers is to throw their weight against that of a metal object at range. If the metal is heavier, or better secured to the ground, the Allomancer is pushed away. If the metal is lighter, or the Allomancer is better secured, the metal gets pushed away. There's a reason Allomancers who only have this power are called Coinshots. At least once, former street rat Vin expresses her discomfort with throwing away money, in her Internal Monologue, but only when she's using it for Not Quite Flight (Which is why she eventually switches to using horseshoes). In combat, she knows money does her no good if she doesn't live to spend it. |

The Falcos turn up at the loan shark's house banging cymbals and announcing loudly that they intend paying off the money in front of witnesses, then empty the coins onto the street, whereupon the loan sharks have to scramble to pick it up before the neighbours. In another book, it's mentioned how Nero would throw packages to the crowd during games, enjoying the greedy scramble as the audience fought for the prizes within. Two gladiator owners ended up becoming bitter rivals because one of them pushed aside his friend and grabbed the prize, which was the deed for an expensive villa. | |

At the end of the Fighting Fantasy book, Armies of Death, your army is vastly outnumbered and outmatched by the forces of chaos, at which point you're given the option to continue fighting (which ends with you getting killed) or ordering your men to throw all your gold into the air and into the battlefield. Doing so will cause a massive distraction as the orcs, goblins, hobgoblins and trolls begin scrambling for the gold, to the point of fighting each other allowing your army to counter-attack. | |
