Vancouver’s Hidden Cash Twitter hunt spreading to the suburbs

VANCOUVER – The man behind Vancouver’s Hidden Cash is planning to give away more money today.

After stashing $100 bills in spots around Vancouver, he’s taking his pay-it-forward mission outside city limits.

The Twitter account first popped up on May 28 and now has more than 12,000 followers. Eight people have found the hidden cash so far.

The man behind the handle would not identify himself to Global News, only saying he is a “successful businessman” who was inspired by the person who started the craze in San Francisco.

Clues are posted on Twitter about where the $100 bills will be hidden, and if you find it you are asked to tweet out your reward.
