Suspected members of a drug trafficking gang in Bolivia have thrown a bag containing more than $1m (£615,000) from a low-flying plane.

But they missed the target and the bag was seized by Bolivian anti-drugs police, who later made several arrests.

What’s the big deal? Obama and Bernanke have been dropping money from airplanes for many years now.
No but we did drop cow plops in bags from about a thousand feet at some bulls-eyes circled on the ground.
No country for old men.
They must have been watching Ben Bernacke.
