Just finished watching a movie called "Session 9", which is on Netflix Instant. It is a very low budget, but well produced horror movie about a group of contractors hired to go into an old closed down mental hospital to some construction work... and spooky things happen! I highly recommend watching. Brief scene that made me drool as a coin collector though. Without spoiling the movie, one of the characters off working on his own finds a small trail of Morgans which leads to him discovering a treasure trove of coins on a brick wall:  Rewound the movie a couple of times for this scene to try to ID all the coins and update my wish list.  |

Ha ha ha! Thank you for sharing this.
Coins in movies are VERY interesting to see.
I remember seeing a film about World War II in England.
An American service men's bar with a slot machine.
The machine paid out dimes.
And along with the Mercs were a bunch of Roosevelts.
Someone did not do his research!
"Yanks" was the title.
Just checked it out.

I was beginning to wonder if you meant to share your real find instead of what happened in the movie. Now that is a find we all wish we could make.  |

The real horror to this is imagine how many times those coins were bumped, tossed, mangled together making that film. Thrown into that mess several times. All those rockes smahing into them and to really make things worse is finger prints added. And remember that many times some sceans are shot over and over.

A grave sin committed against those coins. ***END SPOILER*** But seriously, I hope fake coins were used for the filming. |

did they have a disclaimer at the end?
"no numismatic coins were harmed in the making of this movie"

@Silvercoinrn: Off the topic question: what about the movie was bad? Just wondering. I actually went into it expecting to be bored, but I actually was intrigued all the way through to the point where I was writing up a movie review on my personal blog about the possibilities of what happened in the movie. How far did you get?

I will be watching this.
Also check out the History channel's documentary on the Polio vaccine. They talk about the march of dimes and show video of ladies dumping out envelopes and jars and BUCKETS of dimes on tables to count.
I thought to myself.. every one of those is 90% silver and just IMAGINE how many Barbers and seated liberties there must be!
Makes me wish I had a time machine.
