Sometimes, I fantasize about what I would say if a genie in a bottle presented me with three wishes.

"I want a billion dollars."

But what if:

- The money is in a worthless currency

- The money is stolen and must be forfeited

- The money will be given, but on my deathbed.

- The money is in 1 cent coins

It's difficult to state what I'm looking for because there are side effects and interpretations that I can't even imagine, and even if I could, language is imperfect.
