signs of an affluent city

One time, while walking with friend to his car after dinner I was greeted by the nice sight of free money. There were shopping trolleys abandoned on ANU grounds. All I had to do was push the trolley to the other side of the road, to the other cluster of trolleys, and I'd get a dollar out of it. However, I was greeted by the sight of a two-dollar coin in another trolley. The trolley cluster was otherwise pretty messy with trolleys facing opposite directions and chained together. After reversing the order, I managed to get two-dollars out of the endeavour.

Later on there was a dollar in a trolley on Northbourne but no other trolleys nearby. Obviously there's too much money in that city for people to bother - even for students.
