In Western cultures, giving money as a gift sometimes seems to be less thoughtful. In some of the Eastern cultures, money as a gift is actually the reverse. (For any occasion for my daughter-in-law, we send untouched, unfolded new bills in a bright red envelope and she is impressed by our thoughtfulness)
In Vietnam, during funerals, spirit money is burnt or toseed around.
In Laos, actual money is left as offerings in temples, often in neatly done designs as a mark of increased respect.
