Reminds me of Jerry Rubbin/Hoffman at the New York Exchange.

The most famous prank was a guerrilla theater event in New York City. Abbie Hoffman and a group of Yippies managed to get into a tour of the New York Stock Exchange. They threw hundreds of dollar bills from the balcony of the visitors' gallery to the floor below. The stock exchange shut down as wealthy men in suits trampled each other to get dollar bills. The visitors' gallery was closed until a glass barrier could be installed, to ensure that it never happened again.

A pile of dollar notes made publically shown what the stock exchange was, a group of greedy people who will every second stop their work, to grap single dollar notes. The new york stock exchange was shutted down with a not even so big amount of money... It was just such a genius idea...
