Did you get a $2 bill tossed by Jay Z at Made in America?

Jay Z tossed enough $2 bills from Made in America 's Philly stage that they rained onto the "rowdy crowd," according to Mashable.

Supposedly it happened Saturday night during Steve Aoki's performance that featured cake-throwing (as seen on video here) and spraying of champagne, writes Brian Anthony Hernandez.

And yet we couldn't find a photo, video or eyewitness quote confirming any kind of Jay Z money shower.

UPDATE 9/4: Finally, a photo shows Jay Z throwing $2 bills in Philly

Any chance you or a friend snapped a photo or have a story to tell? Email us: stories@phillynews.com.

There's a backstory to how $2 bills became associated with hip-hop and rap stars, and it's all because a wealthy lawyer named Steven Reisman started giving them out, apparently for good luck, Hernandez writes.

Backing up a Reisman role in Philly is the following tweet:

Yooooo I'm officially official I got my 2 dollar bills from the 2 dollar bill guy!!! #madeinamerica pic.twitter.com/9QdHeb6MT5
