* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' had "The Trouble with Trillions", where Homer finds out that Montgomery Burns had a trillion-dollar bill in his possession that he stole and was originally printed to pay for damages from WWII in Europe. It's not quite a ''zillion'' dollars, but that's enough. At least ([[Out-of-Character Moment|as Lisa said]]) for some dune buggies.
** In the episode ''Mr. Plow'', Homer gets rival plowman Barney Gumble to spend the day dragging his plow up a mountain with the promise of a ten thousand dollar bill. When asked which president is on it, he claims, "''All of them. They're having a party. Jimmy Carter has passed out on the couch.''". [[The Ditz|Barney]] is so impressed that he leaves immediately, abandoning his hot tub with Linda Ronstadt.
* Parodied in the ''[[Animaniacs]]'' [[OVA|direct-to-video movie]] ''[[Wakko's
* Referred to in an episode of ''[[Jonny Quest]]'': [[Yellow Peril]] Zinn has found a way to create gold; the heroes have to destroy the method not only to keep him from using his ill-gotten gains to fund his evil network, but also to prevent the collapse of the global economy should the secret become open knowledge.
** A similar idea was part of an episode of the original ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' cartoon, where the turtles dread the thought of an alien turtle race moving to Earth: they are a benevolent race, but they also have the technology to create gold effortlessly (in fact, they use it mostly as a building material).
* An episode of the original 1960's ''Spider-Man'' had the Vulture ransoming the city for two million dollars in the form of two one million dollar bills.
