They might rub the money on their face or shoulders for luck. When receiving money for a service, an Iranian might initially say 'ghabeli nadare' (it's not worthy). You must insist they take it. It is common for adult children to 'pool begiran' from their parents even into their 20s or 30s as a sign of family support.
