Here is a good one from the Dick Van Dyke show. Season 5 Episode 7...
Rob Petrie inherits an old desk from his recently deceased uncle, and within it a small hoard of coins is found. A numismatist is summoned for a house call and they all look through the coins using the Red Book to try and find a fortune.

Some real good numismatic jokes, like "these are old coins better call an "oldmismatist" instead of a numismatist.
Abe Lincoln makes an appearance as well.

Great episode worth the watch. The link came from my friend Wayne Homren editor of the E-Sylum where it was also linked so it probably drove a lot of eyeballs there and got flagged for that. This one will probably stay around, at least I hope so.
