Hidden Cash craze hits New York City's Central Park

NEW YORK (AP) — Guided by a few clues from Twitter, Stephanie Culff hailed a cab to Central Park on Saturday and started searching for money planted there by Hidden Cash, the scavenger hunt craze that made its New York debut this weekend.
Culff arrived before the masses of cash-seekers and walked away with an envelope containing a $50 bill and a silver dollar she said was worth $23. Both, she said, will go to her dad for Father’s Day.
“We were looking forward to the adventure,” Culff said. “We actually didn’t expect to win.”
Dozens of other New Yorkers found the same prizes hidden in Central Park in Manhattan and Prospect Park in Brooklyn — all part of a movement born last week in San Francisco as a “social experiment for good.”
