Its raining money in Japan and people love it

From the Dec. 24 USA Today:

A man who wanted to share his stock market gains tossed 1 million yen
($9,318) in Japanese and U.S. currency from the observation deck of a tower
in Nagoya, Japan, causing a scramble for the money. The $1 and $100-yen bills
rained on the sidwalks and streets about 330 feet below the deck. The man
said he wanted to give away some of his stock market profits.

That's pretty damned cool!

Good thing he didn't drop dollar coins from that height!

I thought that the smallest Yen note was ¥1.000.
