    Abstract: A system and method for public display of money gifts at events featuring an application for digitally transferring or dispensing funds with simultaneous real-world visualization. This system retains the visual experience and joyful emotions associated with throwing money gifts to celebrants while ensuring that the gifts do not risk exposure to germs and diseases, unlawful or undignified handling, and loss due to theft or natural elements. Gift givers and recipients are aware of the amount of money transferred or received in real time. Givers may give in bulk or with repeated swipes based on the denomination chosen by the giver. Givers enjoy the celebratory nature of gift giving at the event or remotely (since money gifts are transferred digitally) and strive to be the top giver, while recipients experience the joy and satisfaction of receiving gifts without the hassle of physically collecting money gifts, that may be damaged or stolen.
