Is she donating to a person? An organization? This A charity? Does she intend to become a symbol? No Is she ok with it? I don't think she knew... Relevant? Is she a symbol of generosity? Benevolence? Giving? Charity? Sharing? Perhaps all the previous to some degree, giving is most relevant Of a class of people? Of a group? Of a charity? A religion? Is she sainted? Something similar? Christianity is relevant, not a saint, though
Earnest
Could the same amount in cash have made the same effect (she becoming a prominent figure in history)? Don't quite understand the question, you mean paper bills? Irrel If not, because: cash were a symbol of something?, because she did not have cash? Because coins were dropped in a fountain? (E.g. in Italy it happens a lot) She only had coins. If it were a different form of money of a similar amount, it would have been the same effect
Has she been photographed while doing this? No, although in a more metaphorical sense... Is she donating to emarginated people? No To people considered to be ill? No Is Mother Theresa relevant? No Did she win a Nobel Prize? No (Or maybe it was too early for a nobel? It would have been, yes)
Was there someone physically asking for money? Yope A poor person? No
Did someone else put previously money where she dropped the coins? Yes If so, coins? Maybe some Of the same currency? Dollars? There weren't dollars at the time, but likely a different denomination or something The same amount? NO A fixed amount? No Was a couple of dollars a huge amount for the time? No, but... All she had? YES Did she donate the money instead of doing something else with them? That would be implied, but the specifics of that are irrelevant Buy food? Buy something? Paying a tax/soldiers...? Did she become a symbol of freedom? Of positive values? Charity? Piety? Something like this, I think Rebellion?
Did she drop the money as she was normally walking on a street? I'm not sure the exact setup, but essentially, yes, there were no relevant actions on her part before and after E.g. she was walking, she stopped, she drop the coins and then carried on her walk (assuming she dropped money from her hand right? Yes Voluntarily? Yes From a certain height corresponding to the height from her hand to the floor? She drop them on a box on the floor?)? Was this "normal" for the time? Yes Are war zones relevant? Slums? No to both
Did she drop money in a box? Or something similar If so was the box used by someone (e.g. homeless Not this, but...) to ask for money? Yes Was the box where she dropped coins used to gather money? Yes

Is she actually now famous? I would say so, yes, though perhaps DOYD Does she become a famous figure in a more metaphorical way, as in someone saying to her, "Thank you, you're a saint!" or something like that? No Does her fame come within days? Weeks? Months? Years? This Does she drop the coins into a machine? Bucket? I don't know off hand the exact means, but just some kind of collection box Salvation Army relevant? Is there a relevant reason why she doesn't hand her donation to someone for collection? Yes and no, just not how it was done, I believe Is her name now synonymous with generosity? Hmmm...yope Is her image famous? No Is she the logo/mascot for an organization? No, or not that I'm aware of
