Being that Dylan wrote about 2 million songs(it only seems like that since he put over 400 to vinyl) it's no suprise that a few were about money!!! A prolific and great song writer indeed!!!One of my favorites...Mike  Edited by Mike

Les Miserables- "Master of the House": "Master of the house, keeper of the zoo! Ready to relieve them of a sou or two!" How's that for obscure currency references?  Rachel [:p] |

Ooooh, now that might be fun! How about this: "...Henry said don't you mess that pile, had three aces and he had five..." Sailor's Lament--Creedence Clearwater Revival |

Kyra, Do you ever watch Seinfeld reruns on T.V.? There is an episode where Les Miserables is stuck in Georges brain and he can't stop singing those lyrics! Very Funny episode. Mike

I did watch Seinfeld sometimes but I don't remember that episode. I can certainly relate though, I've been walking around for the past few days with "Phantom of the Opera" songs stuck in my head- great movie, BTW- but none of the songs mention coins or currency.

Whilst I often dream of money (or the lack thereof), I seldom think about songs related to money. For the past couple days, the silly song, I'm Henry The Eighth I Am has been running through my mind and it just won't go away. Since the second verse is the same as the first, I can testify that it has no mention of coins nor any other form of money except marriage to the widow next door who probably cost Henry VIII a LOT of money.  |

Not a song, but:
Coin Poems
Penny Penny, easily spent,
Coppery brown and worth 1 cent.
Nickel Nickel, thick and fat,
You're worth 5 cents, I know that!
Dime, Dime, little and thin,
I remember, you're worth 10.
Quarter, Quarter, big and bold,
You're worth 25 cents, I'm told.
Half-a-dollar, Half-a-dollar, giant size,
50 cents to buy some fries.
Dollar, Dollar, green and L-o-n-g,
Worth 100 cents, you can't go wrong!!!
