A character has just acquired a vast sum of money. Maybe he won the lottery, inherited a fortune, or knocked over a bank. Instead of safely investing his newfound wealth, buying something nice, or doing anything even remotely useful with it, he instead goes riding down the street in a car, tossing handfuls of cash at anyone lucky enough to be walking by. Implies the character literally has more money than he knows what to do with. A variation can happen in a Chase Scene, where a character throws out money for the crowd to block his pursuers. Compare Money to Burn.
