These nacred currencies can be sometimes encountered in fiction, typically in sea-related tribes. After all, mollusks (animals that make the shells) live in water, and look very precious, and as such they can make excellent replacement for the typical golden cash.

Money hasn't always been golden coins and paper bills. History has seen many, varied currencies, and seashells were very popular choices. Some are really beautiful and look valuable enough. [[TruthInTelevision Entire civilizations have used seashells as their currency]], in many parts of the world, including North America, Oceania, Africa and Asia. Notably, the use of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowry cowry shells]] as money in China can be dated back three millennia. The Chinese character for "money" even is a pictograph of a cowrie shell!

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'', despite its undersea setting, mostly averts this trope by using regular coins and bills, although the dollar bills have shells printed on the center of them.

* ''VideoGame/ZniwAdventure'': Justified. The village of Fungilla uses seashells as their currency. A Troodon shopkeeper explains that this is because the villager is inside a hollow mountain, where seashells are rare. There used to be an entrance and exit to the mountain before it was blocked off by the thief plaguing the village. It's implied that the residents used to leave the mountain to collect the seashells.

->'''Zniw:''' You use shells as a local currency? How delightfully... odd.\\
'''Troodon:''' In this village? Yeah, the folks 'round here like them a lot, most likely because they're scarce under this mountain. Personally I don't really care what the currency is, as long as it can net me some sweet business deals. The shells are one of the easier ones to use, though.
