DOLLAR BILLS ON THE WALLS

A review in my local paper earlier this week mentioned
a restaurant with an interesting decor:

"Imagine the familiar crowd, favorite foods and friendly
buzz of our own Tessaro's in Bloomfield. Now add a
deck, a wharf and picnic tables on the beach. That's
Mar Vista in old historic Longboat Village. In a poll a few
years back, USA Today listed it as one of the 10 likeliest
places to meet a millionaire. Dollar bills "paper" the walls,
because it was customary for fishermen to pin a dollar bill
to the wall or ceiling to make sure there would be beer
money in case the day's catch was poor. The tradition
stuck."

Are there any other establishments that have this feature?
