After someone finds it, they’re encouraged to tweet a picture using the hashtag.

“I’m in a fortunate position to be able to give away money on a daily basis,” he told the Telegraph. “I get more of a kick out of that than I would spending £50 on myself.”

A lot of people thought this was a PR stunt for a brand, but apparently it’s not. Somebody just woke up one day and decided to share the love…

It’s a shame this experiment is starting to show some people find it hard to believe this can be a selfless act with no commercial gain…
