Throwing money is a concept. Actually, in Urdu it is called ‘Nichawar karna’ ... it is also sign of doing Sadqa and/or showing that money (or whatever) is valueless for person throwing money (or whatever) compare to something for which money is thrown.
From what I assume, what you seen is that a person is reading Naat. Naat is praising of Prophet (SAW). People who were hearing Naat, they were appreciating the praises of Prophet (SAW) in words of Naat and the ways and voice of Naat-reader (Naat-go) when praising Prophet (SAW). Thus, from their action they were concurrently showing their appreciation by throwing money towards Naat-go in form of Sadqa of Prophet (SAW). The act of throwing money in this way portrays that money is unimportant and immaterial for the thrower of money at the time when compared to wording of Naat and ways as well as voice of Naat-reader, such that they can throw whatever they have to Naat-reader in appreciation of his appreciating Prophet (SAW) in his Naat-reading.

**everything is 'up for sale' in this world...yes, EVEN deen! isii liye kahte haiN k 'chank sikkoN ke Khaatir log apnaa deen o iimaan bech dete haiN".
i would say Na't Khowaani is considered 'an act of worship'...well, its NOT because most na'ts contents and the way it's rendered violates many Islamic beliefs. i do NOT consider na't Khowaani as part of Ibaadah at all.**

Reading this part of your post, a question arises in mind:
Would Hassan Bin Thabit (RA) have received any rewards when he wrote nasheed for the prophet (saw) considering the contents would never have violated any islamic beliefs coming from the beloved companion of the prophet (saw) himself?
