The bar was decorated with $2 million in cash.

McGuire's Irish Pub has become a famous destination in Pensacola, Florida, thanks to its incredibly unusual interior design. The entire ceiling and walls are covered with thousands of banknotes, totaling $2 million.

Speaking to a local news agency, the owner of the bar, Martin McGuire, said that he and his wife started the business in 1977. Initially, Martin worked behind the bar while his wife, Molly McGuire, wrote orders and served customers. When Molly earned her first dollar, she celebrated by writing the date on it and attaching the coin to the bar counter for good luck. This attracted the attention of customers when they paid, who asked Molly to attach more coins to the counter as a memento. From then on, a unique tradition of the bar began.

The number of customers at the bar increased, and the amount of money taped to the walls grew, even attracting media attention. In an interview with the Chicago Tribune in 1999, Martin shared: “The cash was taped to the ceiling and walls. We counted it every year and had to pay taxes on the amount that increased each year. We treated it as an asset that we borrowed from our customers.”

At the time of the interview, Mr. McGuire estimated the amount of money displayed was worth approximately $175,000. However, according to recent figures, the amount has increased to around $2 million (equivalent to 46 billion VND).

It was a fortune, literally, from strangers, and most of them said they had to struggle to resist the temptation to pocket some of the cash.

Obviously, displaying such a large amount of cash would attract the attention of thieves. To prevent theft, Martin and Molly marked the bills by signing them with a marker and punching holes in them. This way, any thieves attempting to spend the money would be immediately detected.

One employee at the bar was fined and placed on probation after being caught stealing approximately $5,000 worth of green "wallpaper." Several others stole money to pay for goods purchased at Pensacola itself.
