However, kids these days have no clue what a gold coin is, or what it's worth. It's all about "the Benjamins" and Mr. Krab's paper fetish:
He even gets excited about worthless "copper" pennies. I think every cartoon that displays money uses the green variety. This is unfortunate. May we all teach our kids sound economics and the proper form of money!

I'd say that Mr. krabs is far greedier than Scrooge McDuck. Even other people know that.
Scrooge may love money. But at least, he has more standards than that crab.
SpongeBob's boss, on the other hand, is so freakin' greedy that he'll likely die willingly just to even a penny. Therefore, I hate him while I like McDuck. After all, Mr. krabs is a manipulative, selfish, and udnerhanded coward with the personality of a spoiled brat.
Agreed. Of course, such a character as Mr. Krabs would never survive in a market economy. He probably has a state-granted monopoly (a "patent") on hamburgers, or even on "fast-food", or maybe even broader, "restaurant". I only remember bars, never other restaurants. Hmm...
