- This pot appears in the artworks of "A.I. Mine", "Asleep at the Switch", "Avatar of The Pot", "Cash Back", "Counter Cleaner", "Dark Spirit Art - Greed", "Exchange", "Extra Buck", "Fine", "Goblin Circus", "Goblin of Greed", "Goblin Out of the Frying Pan", "Great Turtle of Greed", "Greed Grado", "Greed Pact", "Jackpot 7", "Jar Robber", "Mistaken Arrest", "Moray of Greed", "One by One", "Panic Shuffle", "Peeking Goblin", "Redeemable Jar", "Return", "Shard of Greed", "Single Purchase", "Spell Books from the Pot", "Spirit of the Pot of Greed" and "The Gift of Greed".
- Also, not only in terms of artwork, but also in the concept of the effects, the "Pot of Greed" is one of the halves of "Pot of Duality", "Pot of Dichotomy", "Pot of Desires" and "Pot of Extravagance".
- Despite its Forbidden status, this card has continued to receive homage through cards such as "Shard of Greed" and "Moray of Greed", as well as through six direct counterparts, which imitate its effect in more balanced manners, or with more contextual purposes, such as "Reckless Greed", "Allure of Darkness", "Red Dragon Vase", "Solar Recharge", "Trade-In", "Rare Value", "Pendulum Halt", "Spellbook of Knowledge", “Sekka's Light”, "Orcustrated Return", and "Cards of Consonance".
- In this, it is similar to the infamous Magic: The Gathering card "Black Lotus", a card retroactively banned for its lack of balance, but repeatedly referenced since within later, more measured counterparts.
- This card's fame goes so far that it is also one of the four Forbidden cards that has its effect featured in "Fuh-Rin-Ka-Zan" and "Pot of The Forbidden". It also appeared in the artwork of "Mistaken Arrest", referencing the fact that it is currently on the Forbidden list, the scene depicts the fiend driver being arrested for having an illegal item ("Pot of Greed").
- In this, it is similar to the infamous Magic: The Gathering card "Black Lotus", a card retroactively banned for its lack of balance, but repeatedly referenced since within later, more measured counterparts.
- According to the Master Guide, someone can put their hand inside the "Pot of Greed" and find something that will delight them, but the pot will explode once they take their hand out. This must be the reason why it is depicted in the artwork of "The Gift of Greed".
- This card has the second shortest effect text of any card, after "Jar of Greed".
- Just like how this card was a Staple in real life, this card also appears to have been a staple in the anime, as nearly every main protagonist and antagonist used this card including Yugi Muto, Yami Yugi, Joey Wheeler, Téa Gardner, Seto Kaiba, Yami Bakura, Yami Marik, Strings, Lumis and Umbra, The Big Five, Alister, Rebecca Hawkins, Leon von Schroeder, and Zigfried von Schroeder.
- However, following the card itself becoming Forbidden, it disappeared from the anime as well with the last usage of the card being Yu-Gi-Oh! GX episode 104: "Future Changes" after frequent usage until that point.
