'Money', Performed With Actual Money

The registers, torn paper and falling coins that open “Money” were tape loops Roger Waters spliced together by hand in 1972. Drummer Sina Doering and her band play them instead: a bowl of loose change, a toy register, a money counter, and one sheet of paper torn exactly on the beat. They did it at Abbey Road, in the building where The Dark Side of the Moon was recorded.
