Wait a Minute!
A man is talking to God.
The man: "God, how long is a million years?"
God: "To me, it's about a minute."
The man: "God, how much is a million dollars?"
God: "To me it's a penny."
The man: "God, may I have a penny?"
God: "Wait a minute."

Wait a minute!
Was God taking inflation into account?
A million dollars isn't what it used to be.
Lol - wait a minute!
I would rather ask: Would the dollar still exist in a million years?
That reminds me of all the currencies and their fluctuations, which were abolished and lost all their value - but again, when coins and paper money are very ancient, they might reach very high prices for museums and collectors - far above their initial value.
A few examples:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sestertius
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denarius
etc., etc.

Wait a minute!
But think of the numismatic value in a million years!
If there still are any numismatists, that is.
Indeed - numismatics was one of the alternatives - lol.
Recycling might also help ...
