It was the fifth episode of season seven and in the story, a witch was using old Romanian coins to assist her in casting spells. The coins mentioned were Wallachian ducats minted sometime between the 15th and 19th century. Unfortunately, they didn't show close ups of the coins. Still, I was excited to see coins mentioned as part of the plot. So have you seen a coin mentioned as part of the plot of another series or movie? | ||

Plenty movies featureing Kruggerands and bullion coins etc. Robin Hood movies often spoke of "that'll be 500 marks" ...for the King's randsome etc...but I can't think of anything right now that's specific. | ||

A few quotes: “I’m proud of you Shawn.” – Frank “What about me? I knew the exact year of the coin!” – Gus “Spoken like a man with no girlfriend.” – Frank and Shawn: "Those silly coin expos you go to. Do they really have coins that are worth more than their face value?" [ Edited Tue Sep 11 2012, 05:05am ] | ||

They find coins from an old Spanish shipwreck. They are clues to a murder of a salvage diver. I'm now hooked on looking for more coin-related plots. | ||

So, hows about 'See No Evil, Hear No Evil'? Wilder and Pryor are chasing a coin.. 'cept it's some kind of semi-conductor made into a coin shape. | ||
