On the other hand, due to the provenance of the cube, the whole thing would sell for a lot more than $1 million.

Jack Binion's sister, Becky Behnen, famously sold million-dollar display of one hundred $10,000 bills in '99 for (a rumored) $4 million to the currency dealer Jay Parrino.

(Supposedly) one of those $10,000 bills was posted on eBay for $160,000.

$10,000 notes carry a substantial premium for collectors.

I find it funny they still advertise having a display of a million dollars, but in boring modern notes. Didn't even bother to look for it even though I walked past the place like 15 times on a Vegas trip, and literally went into the building for a cheap breakfast.

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing had a similar glass box filled with uncut sheets of $10 notes when I visited in 2016.
