So finding money gets you an award. Stealing money obviously doesn't. Begging, busking, and offering things or services for sale may or may not be legal depending on your jurisdiction. Returning bottles for a deposit was a good suggestion. The name is funny, but the concept doesn't do anything for me in the spirit of geohashing. It's like a great name in search of an achievement.

You know what would make it more interesting? If the cash raised were donated to a charity. Or possibly if the geohasher just found a way to donate cash to charity during the geohash.

This user earned the Geocashing Achievement
by raising $42.13 for The Vancouver Food Bank while playing a guitar at the (49, -123) geohash on 2009-05-21.

Also the achievement description needs to specify clearly whether it is necessary to reach the coordinates in order to claim the ribbon. -Robyn 04:40, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
