A passenger plane that crashed Sunday in east Indonesia's Papua Province was carrying 6.5 billion rupiah (470,000 U.S. dollars) in cash, an official said Monday.
The money was government funds for distribution to poor families in Pegunungan Bintang in the province. It was being escorted by four post office workers.
