Other unofficial types
In "Bubble Buddy," the eponymous character pays Mr. Krabs in bubble dollars, a fake form of currency made out of bubbles, rather than real money.
In "Pranks a Lot," Frank offers SpongeBob and Patrick a gag dollar, a fake dollar to make people believe they have real money.
In "The Pink Purloiner," a drawn one billion dollar is seen and is used to make Patrick hand Ol' Reliable to SpongeBob.
In "20,000 Patties Under the Sea," the sea monster is seen giving SpongeBob and Patrick large dollars.
In "One Coarse Meal," a fake form of currency called "Wacky Bucks" is shown as the money that Mr. Krabs pays SpongeBob with.
In "Sand Castles In The Sand," Patrick hands dollar notes made from sand to his architect.
In The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, SpongeBob is seen in possession of Goober dollars, a currency that can only be used at Goofy Goober's Ice Cream Party Boat.
Creation
As seen in the episode "Mr. Krabs Takes a Vacation," all of the money in Bikini Bottom is made at the Bikini Bottom Mint. There, the money goes through different processes to be made. There is even a step where old money is burned up and created into newer money.
Dollar bills are made from "very special sheets of paper" (made with 75% cotton and 25% linen) that are specially prepared to be the standard for money. Coins are made from sheets of metal pressed into coins. Money is also recycled by shredding money and then processing them into brand new cash.
In the episode "Mr. Krabs Takes a Vacation," Mr. Krabs and SpongeBob receive their own money with their faces on it.
Quantity
In many episodes, Bikini Bottom's population is seen to be quite small. In the episode "Clams," Mr. Krabs earns his one-millionth dollar, indicating millions of bills have been spent in Bikini Bottom, despite its small population. Mr. Krabs is also seen to have a large quantity of money in his vault at the Krusty Krab in various episodes.
Trivia
Mr. Krabs showing his love for money
- Sometimes, money (mostly coins) has the ability of speech and moving the face of the figure just as a gag. Examples include:
- A dime in "Squid's Day Off."
- A penny in "Imitation Krabs."
- A quarter in "Welcome to the Bikini Bottom Triangle."
- Like U.S. currency, the coins are the same colors as their real counterpart.

- Money itself wants to be spent, as seen in "Money Talks." However, Mr. Krabs does not want to spend it, due to his greed.
- In "Wet Painters," it is revealed that Mr. Krabs has his first dollar ever earned framed on his wall.
