Money with wings Emoji

Objects

A green rectangular banknote featuring a pair of feathered bird wings flapping on either side, suggesting the bill is taking flight. It depicts a stack of currency literally disappearing into the distance.

Usage Context

Used to describe the feeling of spending money rapidly, receiving a paycheck and having it immediately drained by bills, or expressing the regret of an impulse purchase. It is frequently sent alongside 🤑 to signal a high-spending lifestyle or 😭 to mourn a depleted bank account.

History

Added to the Unicode standard in 2010, this design draws from the idiomatic expression 'money talks' or 'money flies.' It evolved from early web forum culture where users would post images of money sprouting wings to joke about the speed at which their finances vanished during holiday shopping or stock market shifts.
