Thus, the tradition of pinning money to the ceiling of a bar was born.ġ. The money that was never claimed, stayed there, and in some pubs, is still there today. Whether miners never made it back from mining, or they no longer needed the money, cash was abandoned to the ceilings of these pubs. If they did not find gold, they could come back to the bar, still having enough money to get back. They would write their names on their “Get Home” money and staple it to the ceiling of the local bar. The struggle for jobs, land, food, and other mainstays left people wondering how they could get home and encouraged new transplants to stow money in a safe place, like on the ceiling of a bar. Many who could not make it home, stayed, making California their new home. Over 100,000 Native Californians died between 1848-1868, as resources dwindled and their hunting and gathering areas became occupied by newcomers. 90,000 of these immigrants came in 1849 (they were called the Forty-Niners). The Gold Rush brought over 300,000 transplants to California and with the influx of people came the decline of resources and supplies. Times were rough, and returning to where one came from became a bigger challenge every month. Some found gold and got rich others went home empty-handed. People flocked from all over to strike it big in the gold industry.
The California Gold Rush started January 24, 1848. New routes between Sacramento and San Francisco were formed and unoccupied territories were explored and occupied. The war taking place in Sonoma pushed people to the nearby cities of Vallejo (California’s first Capital), Santa Rosa and Petaluma. The United States quickly occupied the area and in 1850, California became the 31st state in The United States Federation. The California Republic, also known as The Bear Republic, lasted only a short period. The city of Sonoma was the resting area for people going between Sacramento and San Francisco. In 1946, Sonoma County broke away from the Mexican government through a coup d'état the city of Sonoma was the capital.

The Washoe House was built in 1859 as a stagecoach stop between Petaluma and Santa Rosa. An example of this lies with The Washoe House in Petaluma, CA, one of the original bars to start this tradition. Other taverns never take their currency down, with layers of memories and history stuck to the ceiling.

The last time they did this, all funds were donated to the Battered Women’s Foundation. Some bars take them down every time the ceiling gets full, like the owners at the Round Robin in Santa Rosa, California, who donate all funds to charity.

There is a tradition to stapling dollar bills on the ceiling of bars. You walk into a bar or saloon, order a drink, and notice dollar bills on the ceiling.
