ON MOVIE MONEY 

   Alan Luedeking writes: "Regarding movie money, I'm sure 
   I'm not the only one who observed the little detail in the 1997 
   movie Titanic-- after the kid finished drawing the beautiful 
   naked girl she handed him a dime for his efforts-- a Barber 
   dime!  My friends have universally derided me for noticing 
   this item when at that moment there was something far more 
   appealing to see (the delectable Kate Winslet), however I 
   appreciated the little numismatic touch of period authenticity. 

   Later on, as the passengers were attempting to leave, one of 
   them waves a fistful of cash which looked like large-size 
   currency--- but this was most probably stage money.  One 
   little temporal incongruity did bother me though --- one of the 
   engine room panning shots featured a light green DC generator 
   that appeared to be vintage late 1940's or early 1950's! Oh 
   well, it's just a movie!"
