According to reports, Thousands of 500 UAE Dirham (worth 475 Ghana cedis) notes flew through the oil-rich city on a busy afternoon earlier this month, and officials are yet to reveal a source of the cash.
Drivers could not believe their eyes as they abandoned their cars in order to get their hands on the notes blowing down the road, Daily Mail reported.
It is estimated that the notes valued three million Dirham were loose, meaning up to 816,782 dollars were blowing in the wind in the streets.
The notes were carried by strong winds through the Jumeirah area of Dubai for several minutes, but locals have got no idea where it came from.
The baffling incident happened at around 3pm on February 11 and the locals have no explanation.
Police later arrived at the area and ushered people away, local media reports.
