BSG Ellen’s Bra-Full of Money
Ellen pulls this wad of cubits out of her bra in the “Daybreak” flashback sequences at the bar on Caprica. This is money she earned while dancing on the stage, and she shows this to Saul Tigh. However, the scene was removed from the final aired edit. Eight 1000 cubit notes, one 100 cubit note, and two 500 cubit notes. Each is worn, distressed, and wrinkled from use. Cubits are color printed on both sides and on speckled paper. Each paper cubit uses a different color scheme (green for 100, blue for 500, red/brown for 1000) and each features a nod to the original series: the reference for the “Seventh Millennium of Time”. Also features all twelve symbols for the Colonies and the Colonial phoenix and ring symbol. When unrolled, each cubit measures 3⅞″ × 3⅞″.
