Saw a circa 1970 TV commercial for cigars priced at 10 cents (youtube, FredFlix channel) that included a rotating dime that alternated between obverse and reverse views. This particular dime consisted of a Mercury observe, and a Roosevelt reverse!

What other coin oddities have you seen in movies or TV?

Coin spooning is briefly depicted in the movie Cool Hand Luke. While the coin in the background is a US quarter, the spooned coin appears to have a portrait of George VI, possibly Canadian, which seems out of place for a southern prison gang to have.
