Currency from the heavens photo....

1) Abbie Hoffman staged a parody event at the NY Stock Exchange and he and fellow Yuppies threw actual money floating down from a balcony for the stock exchange people to race to pick up.

2) British pounds were thrown into a huge vat of filth in the closing section of the the movie The Magic Christian with Peter Sellers and Ringo Starr, based on the novel by Terry Southern. The Badfinger song “Come and Get It” was played. People sought each other to grab more of the money.

If you want it, here it is come and get it
But you better hurry ‘cause it’s going fast

If you want it, here it is come and get it
Mm-mm-mm-mm, make your mind up fast
If you want it, anytime I can give it
But you better hurry ‘cause it may not last

Did I hear you say that there must be a catch?
Will you walk away from a fool and his money?
Sonny, if you want it, here it is come and get it
But you better hurry ‘cause it’s going fast

Note: Written by Paul McCartney

I meant “people fought each other” not sought.
