Am I imagining things or do I remember some sort of audience game where dollar amounts were matched (instead of cars) in a certain time limit?

I don't remember any audience game on Classic Concentration. I have been told, however, that in the syndicated series, if time permitted after a rebus round, Jack Narz played a game where the day's contestants had to match different kinds of foreign currency. Is that what you had in mind?
-
occasionally, they had an audience game...2 of em...
1 had a player matching little amounts of money...under a hundred IIRC...the other had players solving a fully exposed rebus....

Here's a shot of the money game in progress.

Thanks for the snap. Anyone know if they got some kind of bonus for nailing them all?

No, the just kept all the money they won; I think there was $500 available.

$500 matching all 7 pairs of cash. They kept whatever total they managed if unsuccessful.

The audience game is a good reason why a contestant in the rebus game does not win money with matching 2 or three Wild Cards without having to solve the puzzle. Otherwise, the audience game would have to have any or all of the following changes: less time, cheaper individual amounts, or cheaper amount for getting all 7.

I hope this is clear. Sometimes I get so into game shows, I can't follow my own writing.
It wasn't. I do it too, no biggie.
But from what I could tell, you're saying the $500 for matching wild cards shouldn't be "win or lose" because the audience game would have to slash its budget as a result. The bonus shouldn't affect the audience game. I don't think there were too many instances a pair of front and end games went so fast that they needed it anyway. Perhaps just the two we know of are the only times. So giving away $500 max isn't a budget breaker.

It seemed to me that they usually padded the show, notably the first maingame, with Trebek bantering with the contestants. I don't even remember seeing the audience game during the show's original run, I only heard about it looking at the website that showed a picture of it. They must not have played it many times.

Iris, is that you? No, can't be...there are too many periods resulting in actual sentences.
Otherwise, this makes no sense whatsoever.
