On a highway in Atlanta, an armored truck dropped over $175000 cash after its side door sprang open, and spilled thousands of dollars in the air, the CNN reported.
While the truck was making it rain, drivers pulled over to join in literal cash grab. Those driving past got out their phones and shot video of cars and trucks pulling over, with people jumping out to try to scoop up bills blowing in the wind.
Police responded to 911 calls that more than 15 vehicles had stopped on the busy interstate to pick up money that had fallen off an armored vehicle.
Dunwoody Police said in a statement: "The armored car crew said the side door came open while they were driving and money spilled out. Officers and the truck crew gathered a few hundred dollars that was still there when officers arrived, but plenty was taken."
Speaking about the drivers who stopped to grab the dropped money, Sgt. Robert Parsons, a spokesman for the Dunwoody Police Department said: "We have plenty of social media video, some of which seems to have tag numbers to follow up on, but we really want people to come in, turn in the money and go on about their life without worrying about when the police are coming to find them."
Parsons said a man came and turned in $2,100, while another returned $500 they picked on the highway.
