$L gifting

[Freya Mokusei]

At clubs you will typically pay a scripted tip jar. These are configured (again, via script) to send instant messages or other notifications to the person 'logged in', informing them of the exchange.

The Second Life viewer, by default, will play a money 'cha-ching' sound whenever someone recieves L$50 or more in one go (configurable in Preferences), provided the recipient is online at the time. For every payment a user recieves, a Notification is shown on the screen temporarily (and in Local Chat History for the rest of the session). Past notifications are typically found in the top-right of the screen, though this behaviour can be altered, too.

You can set your Preferences > Notifications to notify you when you receive money.  If you do, you will see a dialog box with the message.
