Episode 6 of the third season of Twin Peaks (2017) features two coins.
Now, if you don't know about Twin Peaks, be forewarned that it is weird, so I won't try to explain everything. The first scene is where black-leather-jacket guy interrogates Greaser dude.
BLJ guy produces a head's-up Roosevelt dime and flips it into the air, where it remains suspended for several seconds.
Greaser dude then feels something in his mouth and pulls out a dime.
But then BLJ guy looks up and catches something in his hand. He opens his hand and it's the dime, tail's side up. The dime in Greaser dude's hand has disappeared.
BLJ guy put the dime on top of his left wrist, head's up and delivers to Greaser dude the ultimate declaration: "Heads I win, tails you lose."
The next scene is at the end of the episode. A few episodes before, people have been telling Deputy Hawk (a Native American) that a major clue to solving a mystery will be related to his heritage. In this scene, he's washing his hands in the men's room.
After he towels dry, he reaches into his right pocket for something, and as he does, a coin pops out, hits the floor and rolls into the toilet stall.
Hawk finds the coin and picks it up: it's an Indian Head nickel.
I like how director David Lynch filmed Hawk's reaction with his profile facing right, just like on the coin.
