 The Chinese character "fu" means good fortune. As a new year greeting, it is turned upside down. The flipping action is called "dao le" in Mandarin, which also sounds like the Chinese word "arrives," which in turn sounds like the English word "dollar" - an auspicious character however you look at it.
