UncleBobo Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 And now...my all time favorite reference to a coins in all of motion pictures comes from Mr. Scrooge in "A Christmas Carol" "Come back with the man, and I'll give you a shilling. Come back with him in less than five minutes and I'll give you half-a-crown." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccg Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 In one (or more) of "Back to the Future" movies, the doc gives the kid some notes. $20s, I think, I don't really remember. There may had been coins invovled in at least one of the scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fropa Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Not a film or book, but The $100,000 Nickel (11-Dec-1973) episode of Hawaii 5-O that used one of the actual 1913 Liberty nickels. After rereading the first post I guess this doesn't fall into that catagory since the nickel is mentioned in the title...sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whohah Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 In one of Elvis Presley's many forgetable movies, "Frankie and Johnny", Elvis plays a riverboat singer who is constantly losing his pay at the tables. In one scene, he giving Harry Morgan [Joe Friday's partner, Gannon, or to younger folk, Col. Potter on M*A*S*H] $25 which consists of a woodchopper US note and a blue seal FRBN and I can't remember the other note. OBTW, Elvis' love interest was played by Donna Douglas, "Ellie Mae' of the Beverly Hillbillies. In "Last Man Standing" with Bruce Willis, there is a scene wherein a large sum of small sized nationals are blown into the air by an explosion. One note is seen clearly by the camera. IIRC, Tom Denly supplied the notes to the producers and, as a part of the deal, Denly's daughter appeared in the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conder101 Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 The large size notes seen in Titanic were just standard prop money and they don't closely resemble any standard US or English Banknote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conder101 Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 In the recent remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory the coin he finds is a silver dollar. The interesting thing is that when he finds it it is a morgan dollar but when he shows it to his family it is a peace dollar. They also show a fictional backnote in the movie as well.

San_Miguel98 Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 during the boxing scene in Pearl Harbor, some guy is coaching cuba gooding jr. telling him he didn't want to go back to the Arizona empty handed. the stack of fives he's waving around look like hawaii imprints, even though the war didn't start yet and the notes weren't imprinted until 1942. its somewhere around 45mins 31 secs if someone wants to check on their dvds.

thedeadpoint Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 My most disappointing coin moment in movies was the silver dollar that Two-Face flips in Batman Forever. Instead of using an existing silver dollar design they made up their own ugly one. Well, I should add that compared to everything else in Batman Forever the coin actually looks not too bad!! SPOILER ALERT for 'The Dark Knight': This movie was good enough (and I'm bored enough) to see a second time and I liked even more (especially since I saw the first Quantum of Solace new James bond trailer!!). Anywho, Harvey Dent uses a 1922 Peace dollar to flip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Funny that not only Titanic, but also the "bribe" scene is mentioned. The studio executives at Fox where forced to come to our wee village in Scotland and apologise for making our town hero (William McMaster Murdoch) look like a bribe-taking murdering coward! They offered us some kind of silver plate and a cash contribution to the fund created in Murcochs name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
