* In ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney - Trials and Tribulations'', Maximilian Galactica's salary is never stated, only that it's a lot for a magician.

** In another episode, Chandler tries to quit his job over the phone. Judging by Chandler's end of the phone call, his boss [[EveryManHasHisPrice offered Chandler bigger and bigger raises until Chandler changed his mind.]]
** Inverted in season one when Rachel gets her first paycheck from Central Perk and is visibly disappointed by the amount. Her friends assure her it's perfectly decent amount for a first job before tipping her generously.

* In ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'', Lily asks for the price of a wedding dress [[OnAScaleFromOneToTen on a scale of "never" to "never ever"]]. She receives a response of "[[BrokeTheRatingScale never ever ever ever ever times infinity]]". This is then subverted later in the episode when she tells her fiance she accidentally destroyed it. It was worth $8000.

** Played straight when a corporate lawyer was trying to get Marshall away from the environmental group he dreamed of working.

* In ''Series/{{Friends}}'', Chandler cuts short of telling Monica how much money he has in his bank account, writing it down and showing her instead; in context, this is because he doesn't want to say it in front of Rachel and Phoebe, but Monica shows them the figure anyway. It's described as "the budget of Wedding Scenario A", to give the audience a general idea of how much it must be. Of course, Chandler is skeptical about spending all of his bank savings on the wedding.

* In one episode of ''Series/TheOfficeUS'', one of the warehouse workers asks Michael for a raise. Michael has him write down how much he wants on a piece of paper (hidden from the camera) and laughs when he sees the amount, even though it's equivalent to just a ten percent raise. It turns out that the raise would put his income higher than Michael's, who has never asked for a raise in the fourteen years he's worked at the company.

--'''Jesse''': Have mercy I hope that's your telephone number.

* In ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamKnight'', Deathstroke mentions that the bounty on Batman's head has increased from fifty million USD to "Whoa... I could retire on that...."

* To [[AllOfThem let our]] [[NothingIsFunnier imagination do the work]].

* In the case of FictionalCurrency, to avoid fans from finding contradictions regarding its value.

* In ''Disney/BigHero6'', a tech company executive offers to buy the TeenGenius protagonist's invention for "more money than any 14-year-old can imagine".

* In the Disney cartoon series ''Disney/{{Hercules}}: [[RecycledTheSeries The Animated Series]]'', Croesus, the King of Atlantis, writes out checks to buy off several people to stop the "rumor" that Atlantis is doomed to sink beneath the waves -- including the Fates and Hades, god of the underworld. This at first offends Hades, till he sees the amount on the check... "You think you can buy off HADES, GOD OF THE UNDERWORLD, with a wuh-wuh-whoa that is a LOT of brimstone...." (The joke being that Croesus was IRL the wealthiest king in Greek history up to his time....hence the phrase "rich as Croesus")

-->-- ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'', "Unpause"

** It's also never specified how much the Stonemasons were supposed to be paid for rebuilding Stormwind.

* To [[AllOfThem let our imagination do the work]].

* ''WebComic/StandStillStaySilent'': The expedition's true objective is to illegaly salvage [[TheBeforetimes Old World]] books, "forget" to mention it to the people who funded the expedition as a research operation and sell them for a lot of money. The flash-back establishing the monetary value of Old World books involves a book transcriber accidentally knocking an Old World original off his desk, getting yelled at by his boss because of how precious it is, taking the opportunity to ask how much it's worth, and being amazed at the answer. The book transcriber from this flash-back went on to be the expedition's organizer. In any case, even if we did know the amount it probably wouldn't matter because "a lot of money" probably doesn't mean the same thing within the world of the comic as it does now.

* The exact amount of money Ash has on his account in ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'' is not defined other than by Ash's surprise he has as much as he does. The closest estimates we get are when he goes on a shopping spree with the girls, and ''still'' has a lot of money afterwards.

-->'''Phil''': How much is "wow"?
-->'''Bob''': Right up there between uh, "ouch" and "boing".
-->'''Phil''': Wow!

Those film and theater adaptations that do name a figure give a value that in those days was roughly equal to the salary of a semi-skilled laborer... for three or four years (For example, ''[[Film/{{Scrooge1970}} Scrooge]]'' has Scrooge pledge 100 guineas, or £120. For most of the film, Bob Cratchit was supporting a family of seven on £39 a year).
