* In ''[[Nethack]]'' some {{spoiler|of the demon lords}} can be bribed to leave you alone. It's a one time offer. There's no opportunity to get gold from a container. So the bribe just has to be a sufficiently large fraction of the gold you have in open inventory. Carrying $10 in the open when necessary makes the bribe very cheap indeed. |

* In the [[Flashback]] episode of ''[[Helluva Boss]]'', "The Circus", Blitzo's father is willing to "sell" his son to Paimon to act as Stolas' playmate for only $5 and a condom, which is all Paimon's butler has in his pockets at the time.
