More than 100 people turned up to the money drop, many with their own ideas on who was responsible for the campaign.
Student Bryn Seager was there with fellow "Tweeters" he said he thought one of New Zealand's major banks was behind it and found out about the drop through a friend's Facebook page.
As 9am approached more photos were uploaded to the @GoodMoneyBad account showing the growing crowd.
"Look at you all. Anybody late for work?" they said.
Thirty minutes after the drop was scheduled, and without a dollar to be seen, the person behind the @GoodMoneyBad Twitter account changed their profile picture from the Money is Bad logo to a picture of a troll.
"I'm just showing New Zealand how easy it is to claim a teaser campaign as your own," they said.
