<BR>I could hardly ignore it. And I think Barks' exterior views of the Bin have
<BR>always looked like they were of an approximately 12 +- story structure. If
<BR>anyone can think of how to also respect the 3 cubic acres of cash bit,

<BR>Well, here's the thing (and while I don't really have evidence to support <BR>this, I don't think I've seen anything that contradicts it either...)
<BR>
<BR>The way I've always imagined the Money Bin is with Scrooge's office on the <BR>entry-level first floor, with the office leading in to the vault, most of <BR>which (other than its upper-most story) is UNDERGROUND. Everything above the <BR>first floor is offices and other random rooms.
<BR>
<BR>Here's a kind of ASCII Picture. (It will only make sense if you mail viewer <BR>uses a mono-space font; try copying it into Windows Notepad if you don't see <BR>it right.)
