| - Funny Money was a car from the 1972 Hot Wheels series.
- Given to Jack by Parsec as payment for Jack's assistance in finding Aphelion. Jack didn't realise the money was fake until he'd sent Parsec up to speak with Elwen. On the human path, the Funny Money is replaced by the Really Funny Money that Parsec gives Jack during their second meeting.
- What happens when you combine Acceptable Targets and the classic fascination tourists have with foreign currency? This trope, of course. Jokes about the worthlessness of Ruritanian currency are a comedy staple. Sadly, with the advent of the Euro and the retirement of the Italian lira, some favorite targets have gone. Other currencies lost include the Belgian Franc and the Slovene tolar. Fortunately for comedians, there are always more countries competing to have the most absurd exchange rates. Or the biggest number of zeroes after that first 1.
