I don't think it's a money grab. I actually think it's a buff for big scanners, overall.

On day one, I ended up with about 1000 more cubes than I started with. I doubt I'll spent all 1000 of those by the end of the event. So, instead of more effectively useless cubes, I get more gold medals, which aren't useless.
