Florida Drivers Stunned as Car Starts Throwing Cash Into Traffic at 5 A.M.: ‘I Would’ve Been Out There With a Trash Bag!’
MIAMI, FLORIDA — Florida never disappoints when it comes to bizarre roadside moments — and this time, it literally rained money. A viral video captured a car bouncing up and down in traffic before throwing handfuls of cash out the window while other stunned drivers looked on.
The clip, filmed around 5 a.m., shows the mysterious driver tossing what appeared to be a large amount of bills into the air as cars sat waiting in traffic. Another car nearby was also bouncing, leading some viewers to believe the two vehicles were together.
“The car just started throwing money everywhere like it was nothing,” the woman recording said while laughing in disbelief.
A Strange Morning on Florida Roads
The video opens with a calm traffic scene before chaos — and cash — fills the air. Viewers can see dollar bills fluttering onto the road while no one dares to step out and grab them. Despite the clear sight of money flying around, every driver stayed seated.

Even the woman filming seemed surprised that no one moved to collect the cash, joking that in her case, “it would’ve been a different story.”
“Who just throws away that kind of money?” she asked, still laughing as the vehicle continued tossing bills.
‘I Would’ve Been Out There With a Trash Bag’
After the video went viral, thousands of social media users jumped into the comments — most of them baffled that the bystanders didn’t take advantage of the unexpected windfall.
“Y’all too prideful for me. I would’ve been out there with a trash bag,” one commenter joked.
Another replied, “For one-dollar bills?” only for someone else to clap back, “For 200 one-dollar bills in this economy? Yes!”
A few users pointed out that even small bills add up, with one person saying, “They don’t know those ones add up! I’d have collected it all.”
Homeless Residents Might Have Been the Real Winners
While some people online admitted they would’ve rushed to scoop up the cash, others hoped the local homeless community found it first.
“I know a homeless person had fun after they left,” one commenter wrote. Another added, “Those folks probably woke up to a blessing.”
However, one woman took a different angle entirely — she wasn’t thinking about collecting the money. “Y’all saying you would’ve picked it up,” she wrote, “but baby, I would’ve been talking to the guys in the car.”
Still No Explanation for the Cash Giveaway
Authorities haven’t identified the driver or confirmed why they were tossing money out of the vehicle. But the early-morning stunt has quickly become the latest in a string of “only in Florida” moments — leaving locals amused, puzzled, and a little envious.
Whatever the reason, one thing is certain: Florida traffic might be frustrating, but you never know when it could literally pay off.
