It seems like you use "pour" with liquid-form substances or grainy stuff such as water or milk or salt, etc.

I am not sure if it can be used with hard objects like toys or rocks or paper-form like money.

do you say "to pour toys / rocks / dollars out of a bag"?

Answer 1

Tip Out - To empty a vessel of its contents by tipping it over. A noun or pronoun is used between "tip" and "out."

It's worth noting that, although less usual, you could also tip out a liquid.

You can pour out solid objects, especially if there are more than one (and therefore they would act like a liquid) but it's more of a metaphor.

For example:

He poured out the contents of his coin purse onto the table.
