== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Merrill of ''[[Rune Soldier Louie]]''
* [[The Barnum|Nabiki Tendo]] in ''[[Ranma ½]]'' just loves money, so damn much. She's never actually shown in the usual sexual situations, but an anime filler episode does have her envision a great tidal wave of golden coins, which is used to force a telepath out of her head. So much does she adore money that she actually caused the [[Blast Out|"wedding disaster"]] at the end of the manga because she believed that the other members of Ranma's [[Unwanted Harem]] would A: bring money as a present for the "happy couple",<ref>Which was not unreasonable; in Japan, wedding gifts are almost always in cash.</ref> B: she could take that money for herself, and C: they wouldn't [[Mad Love|cause such destruction in their outrage]] that it would ''cost'' more
**
* ''[[One Piece]]'':
** Nami (pictured above) is the most notable example in the series, largely due to a tragic [[Freudian Excuse]]. She never had much money for what she wanted while growing up, and after Arlong's pirates invaded and killed her foster mother, she was forced to work to collect money to free her village. After Arlong's defeat and her village's liberation, she is just as determined to collect money, particularly since she can now use any money she collects for herself.
*** After the Wano Arc, she is ''very'' upset that her bounty is up to 100M berries - ''not'' because it's so high, but because she is now worth more than she has ever dreamed of owning.
** Also pretty much all of the evil pirates as well, as well as [[Evil Cannot Comprehend Good|unable to understand how anything besides money could be considered treasure]].
** Far worse than Nami is El Drago from ''[[One Piece: The Movie]]''. He’s so addicted to gold it’s the only thing he finds valuable. Emeralds and diamonds are just junk, all he wants is the gold.
Line 75 ⟶ 76:
* In ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'', the host of "The Money Programme" gets a bit carried away:
{{quote|Tonight on 'The Money Programme', we're going to look at money. Lots of it. On film, and in the studio. Some of it in nice piles, others in lovely clanky bits of loose change, some of it neatly counted into fat little hundreds, delicate fivers stuffed into bulging wallets, nice crisp clean cheques, pert pieces of copper coinage thrust deep into trouser pockets, romantic foreign money rolling against the thigh with rough familiarity, beautiful wayward curlicued banknotes, filigree copperplating cheek by jowl with tumbling hexagonal milled edges, rubbing gently against the terse leather of beautifully balanced bank books!}}

* Lampshaded in the ''[[Malcolm in the Middle]]'' episode "Malcolm Babysits" where Malcolm, having money for the first time in his life, rubs it on his face and then asks to camera "Is this as creepy as I think it is?"
* Parker of ''[[Leverage]]'', to the point of unnerving her crewmates. When confronted with a shipping crate full of bills, she can't even speak.
