Flushing his money away?

Some man is leaving money in toilets in Japan's government buildings.

Says the Reuters article:
Each comes with a handwritten letter in formal wording evoking Buddhist language, saying the giver hopes the money will be "useful for your pursuit of knowledge."
So far, the benefactor has given about 4 million yen ($32,720) away in this manner.

Now, why can't this happen in the United States? Tuition is increasing at a rate of 6% annually, more than double the rate (3%) of inflation. Japan still has cheaper comparable tuition rates as well. This person needs to leave the money in library reference books. :)

That's nice, random, but nice.
