It's dropped into the (empty) baptismal font (which is a metal bowl so you get a good "clang") and the sound is quite moving as, one by one, people come forward. The $ is given to a group who has been betrayed (abused children for example). - you can purchase disintegrating paper at some medical supply stores. People write what they want to disintegrate (sins to confess, etc.) on their way up to communion. They drop the slips of paper into the baptismal font which is filled with water, and the papers disappear. Cool. Also - Jonny Baker is indeed the way to go.
