A box containing one hundred $\$100$ bills was emptied by tossing its contents out a window. All of the money, which was real, fell onto the ground floor below.

After all of the bills landed, they were counted. $47$ bills had the Benjamin Franklin side facing down, while there were $43$ bills with the other side facing down.

How did this happen?

It's quite simple really.

Just make a money roll, or fold some of them to make them stand on edge. enter image description here!

My bills normally look like this:

These will frequently land on edge. enter image description here

This is possible if

10 of the 100 bills are not the standard US \$100 bills. They could be Canadian or Australian dollars, or older US versions (if they exist) with a different design.
