IT FELL From The SKY II! MONEY
July 4th 2008 10:15
In 1968, shoppers in Kent, UK, were surprised by falling coinage on the footpath. Apparently they came from nowhere with only the sound of them hitting the ground alerting the shoppers to their presence, and the dents in them backed up the story that they had fallen from the sky. There were no tall buildings or planes nearby.
In 1976 over a Piazza in Rome, a light plane dropped a large quantity of 500, 1000, and 10000 lira bank notes. The pilot of the plane was never identified.
In 1982 a young girl saw a 50 pence coin fall from the sky while in a church yard near Manchester UK (Not too far from me now actually!).
Later on during the same day, other children found coins in the same place. A local sweetie/lolly/candy shop owner who'd been swamped by coin-bearing children, thought that maybe the children whad stolen the coins from the church's collection box and contacted the church immediately, but no money was missing.
All the children swore that the money had fallen from the sky.
In 2007 a raucous group of demonstrators managed to make it to the visitors gallery of the New York Stock Exchange and throw $100 in $1 bills over the edge.
Also occurring in 2007 was the incident in Tokyo, Japan where a million yen began floating down from the top of an apartment block above a convenience store.
While only last month in Indonesia, 100 million rupiah, or nearly £6,000,cash was thrown from a plane in a marketing stunt over one of the poorest areas.
