Since Palo Alto millionaire Jason Buzi began making the money drops in May he's given away thousands in dollars, euros and other currencies around the globe, racking up more than three quarters of a million followers for his Twitter account, which provides clues to the drop locations. The Giveaways began in the Bay Area, where San Franciscans swarmed drop locations in search of marked envelopes stuffed with $20's.

He later spent time dropping pounds all over the United Kingdom, and has been making friends in Germany over the last few days.
