Here's some screencaps from the gambling scene in Titanic (about 25 min in). Bit surprised it wasn't mentioned yet.

2015 Movie "Bridge of Spies" starring Tom Hanks, is a true story about the Russian Spy Rudolph Abel, who in 1957 used a hollowed out Nickel ( Magicians coin) to conceal micro film of U.S. Secrets destined for the USSR. Seen here are the movie stills showing Abel opening the Magicians Nickel with a razor and revealing the micro sized documents. Great movie, historically accurate and worth a watch. Directed by Steven Spielberg, and written by the Cohen Brothers. Kinda makes ya wonder, what was the purpose of some of the "Magicians Coins" that show up every so often, eh?

Very nice!  Quote: Kinda makes ya wonder, what was the purpose of some of the "Magicians Coins" that show up every so often, eh? Swab the inside for trace.

Star Trek: Deep Space 9, S1, E11 "The Nagus", at 29:06 has a coin of some sort as the reason a character ducks and escaped certain death at the hands of an assassin.

In Quentin Tarantino's 1992 directorial debut Reservoir Dogs, Tim Roth plays an undercover cop known as "Mr. Orange." He is just about to go out onto the job when he stops at his door, turns around and empties a dish of change onto a table. But he's not looking for money--he fishes out a ring that was in the dish. He puts it on and leaves.
The coins are all normal pocket change. I noticed a lot of mint marks, which would make sense as the film was made in Los Angeles.

Just saw an episode of "The Fall guy" on TV where the person they were chasing had a stolen 1916 S SLQ. Claimed it was an error coin with on 2 known. When they showed it being put into a pay phone they showed the reverse of a SLQ. Probably didn't want to show the front of a T1 SLQ on prime time TV.
Sorry no screen caps, Anyone have the series on DVD?
