I think there's an episode of the original Hawaii Five-O about one of the 1913 V nickels getting stolen at a coin exhibition. EDIT: Haha, bio beat me to it!  Edited by Kefiroth

No country for old men, a very grissly murder type movie by the cohen brothers, the guy uses as quarter to make a decision whether to kill a guy or not, and I think he doesn't kill him.
Okay, the coin is not old, but he makes out the coin is his lucky coin and is special.

I enjoy watching the old Dennis the Menace shows from the 60's and a few of the episodes feature Mr. Wilsons coin collection. He loses a rare dime in one episode, deals with a crooked coin "dealer" in another episode, and he misplaces a gold coin another time. It also shows him looking through his coin collection trays at various times throughout the series and in one episode he attempts to sell his collection. Always a good time...
That show is still being shown every day around me at 4 and 4:30 PM. Yes it is fun to watch how many times in that show Mr. Wilson picks up his rare coins with his bare hands. Lots of stories about Dennis messing up with some of those coins. One had a cop at the end using one of his rare coins in a vending machine. I never could figure out why they didn't have him have his coins in Albums or Folders. I did back then. |

They used a stack of Kennedy's to test the strength of toilet paper in a Charmin commercial.

I remember that episode! Here's a link to a thread I started about a Beverly Hillbillies Episode. https://goccf.com/t/85707 |

I remember the "Hawaii 5-0" episode very well. At least the part where the coin somehow got lost or stolen and the distraught guy went to a bar for a drink and when he paid for the drink the coin turned up in his change! (yeah, right!)

So just yesterday, I am barely watching this Western show from the 50's. An Indian reaches in and pays off a innkeeper with what seemed to be a a $50 Pan-Pac. They show it clearly, but I am not 100% sure what it was, It did have the 6 or so sides. Thats my story and IASTI.  |

A gentleman on a different thread made a point about Morgans being used quite often in old western movies.

He says he will be back for his change, later, and then he is discussed as being involved in a past robbery by the innkeeper who summons the law. Then he is questioned and seemed uninterested and innocent.

This is one of the most fun threads in a while. It has brought back so many memories. I watches Dennis the Menace in re runs when I was a child and I remember the one about the lost coin and Dennis finds it in his change at the end and gives it to Mr. Wilson

There's an episode of Matlock where the criminal is caught because he took coins from a proof set on display at the crime scene and spent them at a local shop.
