Discussion about the use of 100 dollar bill in LEGO sets

[Dollar Bill]

I was wondering if anyone could help me find a picture of the Lego 'dollar' brick. I was going to put it as my avatar, but I can't find it on Peeron. Help? It will be appreciated earnestly. :D

This the right one?

Hope that helps!

[Dollar Bill]

Yes! Thank you very, very much. I'll be putting that as my avatar now. Again, thank you very very much.

I always found it funny how everything in the Lego world costs $100.

Not really. They also use coins worth 10, 20, 30 and 40. And who says the currency of Lego world is a dollar, anyway?

[CP5670]

Well, 100 of most currencies seems like a lot for ice cream:

As for the coins, those are mainly seen in Pirate sets. I'm not sure if they were ever used in City sets.

Thats a good idea, we need more currency's in our lego.

That would be great if they released a Bank set, of the same size and similar to Cafe Corner or Market Square, with a huge vault with 1's, 2's, 5's, 10's, 20's, 50's, and 100's. And tons of gold coins.

The poor man just dropped 100 Euros/Pounds/Dollars/Yen/Pesos at that store, and now all of groceries are flying out of his truck. Oh well, I guess that is what happens if your listening to your music to loud.

Yes we need a bigger variety of bills.

I would love it if they released a bank set, and don't forget gold bricks

This topic has turned into an interesting discussion. Perhaps a name-change is in order?

That's why the cashier has really big eyes, and is chasing down the customer to give her her change of $98.50

I thought it fit.

I was thinking if there is any value to this discussion, but it seemed you guys have turned it to be quite useful. I have amended the topic title to keep this discussion going with relevant content, relating to the dollar bill appearing in earlier LEGO sets and your thoughts as well.

[Rijkvv]

They were used in this set:

Many others as well. 40 coin for example.

[brickzone]

The 10,20,30,40 are lego cents, and the 100 is 100 lego cents - i.e. 1 lego dollar. Except in the Western cents where it is indeed 100 lego dollars, and the Pirate sets where the coins are bullion.

That's my take on it.

Yes it is. I've learned a lot.
