Good point and saying they 'worship money' was an unintended pejorative. Still it is a bit more than that. Flowers are merely a gesture/ritual whereas burning money is an attempt to send money to the afterlife (if my understanding is correct), which inevitably does elevate it somewhat in the minds of believers. I feel the original point is partially intact, in that they definitely do have superstitions surrounding money e.g. red packets ... etc.
