Reminds me of a story I heard on, probably, This American Life. I'll try to recite from memory, but I'm sure the real version is much better. That Ira Glass amirite.
Man comes home from working, takes a nap on the couch, wakes up, and takes midday shower. While showering, he hears a "plink" and looks down and there's a quarter at his feet. He's alone in the shower and it seems like this coin appeared out of nowhere and fell into the tub. Weird, but he shrugged it off. But then a few days later, it happened again. Same circumstances - work, couch nap, shower, plink. He figured it was an odd, extremely low stakes prank by roommates, but no one copped. It kept happening though, and eventually he figured it out.
He lived in a warm apartment and when he's taking his couch nap, he takes off his shirt. He lives with roomies, so pants stay on. While napping, coins from his pants pockets fall out and find themselves eventually stuck to his naked back. When he wakes up, he heads straight to the shower and the water washes it off and "plink" - money out of thin air.
