If you want to raise funds (for charity purposes), you can collect money from people by asking them to put a Dollar (or any small change for that matter) into a box or a jar.

It's from Friends season 8 ep 5:
Code:
Monica:( to Phoebe and a guy)
All right, all right, let's just cut to the chase, okay?You're single, you're single.,
He gets off work at 11:00.She'll be waiting for your call.
I'll give him your number if I could just get one calamari and one Caesar salad!
I did not yell. I am not putting a dollar in the jar.

So, I guess here, "put a dollar in the jar" could means yelling, angry, or else. not to raise the money.
