Money Bin
Encyclopedia : M : MO : MON : Money Bin
The Money Bin is a fictional location in Disney comic books, first appearing in comic book stories created by Carl Barks. It was later depicted in animated cartoons such as the theatrical short Scrooge McDuck and Money and the television series DuckTales. It is in this building in which Scrooge McDuck stores his money and is the tallest building in the city of Duckburg, Calisota.
The Money Bin was built in 1902, shortly after Scrooge entered the diamond market and could no longer sleep at night because all the money he was storing under his mattress raised his bed too close to the ceiling, necessitating a more suitable storage facility for his money. His favorite pastime is to dive off a board into his money and swim through it.
Although the Money Bin is a twelve story skyscraper and a vault filled with three cubic acres of money, on various occasions it has been pulled around by a tractor, lifted to the top of a mountain, stolen by aliens from the bottom of the ocean, and blasted open with a cannon.
The Money Bin is the victim of repeated assaults by many of Scrooge's enemies who try to steal his money, such as his archnemesis Flintheart Glomgold, the Beagle Boys, and Magica DeSpell, who is after Scrooge's Number One Dime (the first dime Scrooge ever earned).
To protect against these attempted break-ins, Scrooge has installed the greatest security system in the world to thwart any thought of even trying to intrude onto the premises.
