Pinning money on someone for their birthday is big here, too.
Some weddings have the "wishing well" where there is something big decorated in the colors of the wedding and guests can give whatever (money) they choose.
Now, I find this ghetto IF one thinks I'm supposed to purchase a gift AND give you money for the well or the dance. Either the gift or the money...

Well I guess most people don't mind giving a gift and doing the dollar dance because they usually give the bride/groom only $1-5, although some may give a lot more. I think people just enjoy the concept of the dollar dance. Like I stated earlier, most of the guests that I see participate are relatives and very close longtime friends. Also, some people give their money gift to the bride/groom during the dollar dance.
From my experience, the wishing well is for those who are giving cards/money as opposed to wrapped gifts. It's just a container to keep everything together so that cards and stuff aren't all over the place.
