I found this article, pretty near word-for-word, here: http://www.hudsonvalleyweddings.com/guide/$dance.htm

Who's plagiarizing who??

Info for the US was not correct. Some do the dance based on immigrant traditions, but as a general point of etiquette, doing the money dance or in any way demanding money from guests is considered rude. I do also find the mention of "face time" odd, as if the couple is somehow not circulating among guests unless propositioned with money.64.50.201.98 (talk) 16:13, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have never considered the dollar dance a rude custom. There is no enforcement that you MUST do the dollar dance, and no enforcement as to how much to give. $1 is cute, but far from customary. Not to mention it's an old custom, over 100 years old, which overrides any idea of rude or tackiness. www.associatedcontent.com/article/1025544/the_money_dance_tacky_or_tradition.html As for the face time, I couldn't disagree more; greeting guest at a table with 7 to 9 others sitting at the same table a guest hardly receives "face time." This point is much more of a thank you/ you look lovely or handsome than actually special quiet reflection to the bride and groom. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Peacekeeper 1234 (talk • contribs) 15:22, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I also question the part about the Poles inventing the dollar dance. Greeks have done this dance for centuries before this. So I assert it was the Greeks who started it, not the poles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 15.219.169.69 (talk) 17:30, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
