Such a deal! Wikipedia says of the M-1 Abrams "Over 8,800 M1 and M1A1 tanks have been produced at a cost of $2,350,000-4,300,000 per unit, depending on the variant."
I remember the round number in 1990 being about a mil, so you could price things like social and science programs in nice convenient units.
