oh my god, I love money!
“$10,000 Dollar Bill. Yes it is real. The Federal Reserve used it to transfer money to and from banks and was never issued to the public.”
So they just made up a piece of paper that said it was worth $10,000 just to pass around? Could someone please explain this?
Great pics, just love it!

Ownage! good ol’ money
I’d like to see someone try to steal one of the $1M penny displays. I don’t think they’d get very far.
Supposedly, though, only the top layer of cash in the 3M advertisement is real.

As of June 9th, 2008 that Gold coin is worth roughly $3.2 Million!
Wow an amazing collection of photos. That’s some ceiling in that pub!

Ive been to that money tree you got pictured
(there are 2 trees there now, hard to get the money out though)
It’s in a valley near a town called Ingleton in the north of england. (you are supposed to hammer a coin into the wood and bend it 90 degrees, for good luck)
P.S. I went with a 6th form geology trip n one of the group hammered in a £1 coin
that’s a great creative way to use money, that’s for sure

“Largest Gold Nugget Ever Found.”
Bet you he sold it for like 50 dollars back than.
““$10,000 Dollar Bill. Yes it is real. The Federal Reserve used it to transfer money to and from banks and was never issued to the public.”
So they just made up a piece of paper that said it was worth $10,000 just to pass around? Could someone please explain this?”
I would assume that since the INTERNET hadn’t been invented, they had no way to reliably transfer larger sums of money around without using flatbeds. So they just made money that was worth more so it didn’t take up so much space.
wow, some of those pictures were great.
I want some of that money!
That pub is McGuire’s Irish Pub in my hometown, Pensacola, Florida.
Largest gold nugget ever found is a fake pic. Clue one is that the pic is in black and white except the nugget is in color. also it looks to be 5ft and only weights 640lbs while the largest gold bar is 18″X 9″X 7″ and weights 550lbs.
so much mean less money that can buy so much stuff…
jejeje thats a lot of money dude

HEY! THATS MY DRUG MONEY lol jk
hey the largest nugget isnt real. notice how it is gold and fake looking, while the picture is in black and white?
I love money too but wait, I think everyone does. It’s amazing to see what one million pennies looks like all together at once. Great creation!
““$10,000 Dollar Bill. Yes it is real. The Federal Reserve used it to transfer money to and from banks and was never issued to the public.”

It’s how the dollar used to work. All paper money was backed by gold. The paper just represented the gold because, well, it’s pretty hard to lug around big bags of gold all the time. The $10,000 note just represents $10,000 worth of gold. The person would take the actual bank note to the bank and they would transfer the gold to them. That’s how it worked.
jejejeje cool pictures!
Interesting the high denomination bills - since electronic funds transfers became prominent, there is no need for them to be used for bank loans to other banks, so I’ll bet their extinct. I wish I had one as a collectible.

Wow, 100 million Pennies must have been very impressive! It would have been more funnier to make a long sidewalk from those Pennies
I like that money dress. Makes me think of the £200,000 dress Colleen McLoughlin wore to marry “The Roon”!

Awesome photos. Thanks for putting them up. That 3M security glass advert is ace. Would be good if more ads were as good as that one.
Oh My god, This all reminds me of duck tales and uncle scrooge diving and swimming in his money bin… I wish I had so much money I could use it as art.
If the holocaust display ways 2.3 tons and contains 1 million dollars worth of pennies why is the abortion memorial, wieghing in at 156 tons, holding only a half a million dollars worth of pennies?
“If the holocaust display ways 2.3 tons and contains 1 million dollars worth of pennies why is the abortion memorial, wieghing in at 156 tons, holding only a half a million dollars worth of pennies?”
It says the enclosure weighs 156 tons. Not the pennies themselves
“If the holocaust display ways 2.3 tons and contains 1 million dollars worth of pennies why is the abortion memorial, wieghing in at 156 tons, holding only a half a million dollars worth of pennies?”
Just re-read it. The holocaust display has one million pennies in it not one million dollars worth of pennies. And the Abortion one has 50 million pennies.
Hope that helps ya out
That pub is indeed McGuire’s Irish pub in good old Pensacola Florida. Right now the money count is about $850,000. Ah many a night spent on the stage of McGuire’s for me. If you are ever in town go there on a friday night and if you see a long haired gentlemen next to the entertainer that would most likely be me.

World’s largest coin- could you spend that??
Some great pictures… You need to ad the most colorful currency, the fanciest (hardest to copy) money and perhaps the most worthless money. (Some countries money is so worthless it costs millions for a bag of rice)

I remember reading somewhere that people used to exchange big rocks instead of money. It was some kind of a tribe I think. It is funny how money were invented and the fact that they are a fictive way of representing wellness, that all of us accept. A good post there!
This is a nice collection but it’s not all about the money is it?!
I do computer support for a armored car company. The first time they took me in the back I just about fainted when I saw a pallet of $20 bills and crates if quarters. They have $10-12 million on hand at any given moment.
This is lot of money, really green to the eyes, i felt rich for a moment…….
Not bad at all, but this topic is rather little of interest. Please do not disappoint your readership.
