* ''ComicBook/BackToTheFuture'': Doc needs seed money for doing things like the hover conversion due to RidiculousFutureInflation, so he needs something antique to sell. He initially tries the antique money route, but no-one will buy them. He then goes back in time and picks up ComicBook/ActionComics #1 from 1938, and the antiques seller ''happily'' buys the now hugely valuable comic for more than enough to cover Doc's costs, thinking he's made the deal of a lifetime off a senile old man... only for Doc to reveal that's just ''one'' of several copies he picked up, and if he runs out of money, he just 'finds' another copy.

It's the simplest way to turn time into money: drop a few dollars into a compound interest bank account, then hop into your [[TimeTravel Time-O-Matic]] or become {{Human Popsicle}}s and come back in a couple dozen decades to find that your pocket change has exponentially increased to a fairly tidy fortune.

* A ''Manhua/OldMasterQ'' story attempts this, when Master Q invents a time machine that transports him, Big Potato and Chin to the Ming Dynasty. Realizing their present-day money - mostly 5-cent and 10-cent coins - are mistaken as extremely valuable treasures by ancient jewelers, the trio decide to exchange their coins with Ming-era potteries and sell them in the present as antiques. Alas, it doesn't work - when Master Q brings an ancient Ming vase to their on-off friend, Mr. Chiu who's an antiques dealer, Chiu mistakes the vase for a fake because [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome it's brand-new]].
