About a cup of quarters poured out with continuous side light and long shutter speed making the motion streaks of light, followed by flash to freeze some of the coins in mid-flight. Almost did not submit because the coins are not sharp, but did so anyway because the market changes have come in a blur anyway. Toss up whether to post under "money" or "motion blur", but selected to topic fitting the main subject.

Nice use of blur and the slight toning works for this.

I wonder if the white color is from the motion of the coints or something else

Maybe you should have entered this into Motion Blur =) Very nice image. Definitely conveys your title well

Interesting technique, but I think the streaks of light distract from the simple, clean image of the money falling on its own.
