No, the Ig Nobel Prize:

The Ig Nobel Prize monetary award is given in a solitary banknote for the amount of 100 trillion Zimbabwean dollars ($0.40 USD)

i'm a bit disappointed that it's not like 10 bucks at least, like haha funny yes, but come on you can give them an actual reward for actual science

The actual worth of the prize could be the publicity, to stand out and be recognizer as a scientist in a flood of publications. I'm just guessing.
