Money should be nearing the end of its beta, so what should the exception screens be for Money?
The exception screens are
- 404 (Page not found)
- Error
- Captcha (the screen where you verify you are human).

Won't Jin, the SE designer, be the primary one dealing with these questions with community input?– justktCommented Dec 17, 2010 at 15:31

2@justkt certainly, but most sites have these questions answered for his perusal before he actually says "Time to design the site". Nothing here is final, but it's a lot of useful input for Jin.– C. RossCommented Dec 17, 2010 at 18:00

What about a cracked piggy bank?

2@MrChrister Since it's been decided that the logo for the site is a piggy bank, and therefore it's international enough as a symbol, this could work for the error page. Commented Aug 3, 2013 at 4:48
The captcha page could display a high-frequency trading system (i.e. a computer trading stocks):
The error or 404 page could display a bounced check:
I also like the cracked piggy bank idea.

Perhaps the 404 or error page could show an ATM (cash machine) with a "not in service" or "out of order" message being displayed.
I think captcha page should display an ATM (since it's a robot/machine that produces money :), error page might display a falling stock chart, for 404 it'd be funny to draw a 404-dollar bill, but that might be too much work. Maybe broken piggy bank as Alex B suggests.
A message explaining that the paperwork from the International Monetary Fund is hung up, but should be done shortly and the site will be back online then.
