Granted. Every time you snap your fingers, $1000 is removed from your bank account and given to some random person on the planet.

Granted. It comes in the form of a mass of pennies, weighing about 550lbs or 250kg and is dropped on them. Your role as an extra in West Side Story causes a massacre.

To add to this, the pennies are moldy and gunky. It's not USD currency but a strange mix of groshcys, Groschen, lira, yen, Franken, even 900 year old Skrupel from all over Europe...

Granted. You get $1k poorer and it’s only given to people who have way too much already.
