An Indonesian businessman has scattered 100 million rupiah ($10,700; Ј5,406) in banknotes from a plane to promote his new motivational book.
Tung Desem Waringin said he would rather share money for a promotional campaign with people who needed it.
His plane flew over a sports field in Serang city, 60km (40 miles) west of Jakarta, dropping four loads of bills of small denomination.

Millions of Indonesians live below the poverty line and distributions of free food and aid regularly draw large crowds.
