Answer 1

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.

or

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 ...
