* In only the fifth episode of ''[[Pokémon]]'' titled 'Showdown in Pewter City', Ash and Misty discuss the upcoming gym battle with Brock over a meal. After Ash refuses help from Misty, she angrily leaves the restaurant and Ash is left to stare at the bill and subsequently yell for Misty to come back. The bill originally read ¥1150, which [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=1150+yen+in+dollars just barely qualifies] for this trope, but the [[4Kids! Entertainment]] dub changed it to a dollar sign without bothering with exchange rates (or even just adding a decimal point to make it $11.50), which makes it [[Exaggerated Trope|a rather more potent example]]. |

* In ''[[Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?]]'', one can buy a house for 800,000 valis. The bill for creating the Hestia Knife was ''200 million'' valis, which when revealed scared off everyone who wanted to join the Hestia Familia. (Hestia has to [[Work Off the Debt]] - good thing that, as a goddess, she's immortal unless killed.) |
