Versions[]

  • Original version - The dollar looks like an ordinary dollar.
  • Patrick's version -
    Wet Painters 185

    Patrick's version of the dollar

    In order to hide that the dollar got covered with paint, Patrick drew on it with crayon, which was ineffective, as it looked nothing like a real dollar, despite Patrick thinking Mr. Krabs would believe it.

Role in series[]

"Wet Painters"[]

SpongeBob and Patrick get a tiny drop of paint on Mr. Krabs' first dollar while painting the inside of his house. The two then try various methods to remove the paint, all of which are either ineffective or make the paint spread. Patrick later colors it to look like a dollar, which just ruins it further. However, Mr. Krabs is able to remove the paint with his saliva.

"Friend or Foe"[]

Mr. Krabs explains how he obtained his first dollar. He earned it when selling his first burger to the kids at the dump after Stinky Burgers shut down.

SpongeBob's Truth or Square[]

It is one of SpongeBob's memories.

"Bottle Burglars"[]

The dollar is one of the objects SpongeBob cleans on Cleaning Day. After scrubbing it too hard, he accidentally turns it into a quarter, then a penny, before it completely disappears. To fix his mistake, SpongeBob takes out a random dollar from his pocket, licks it and sticks it onto the portrait to replace the original dollar.

"Whale Watching"[]

The dollar is one of the objects ripped by Pearl's crying.
