The E-Sylum: Volume 4, Number 26, June 24, 2001, Article 10 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!" Wayne Homren, Editor The Numismatic Bibliomania Society is a non-profit organization promoting numismatic literature. See our web site at coinbooks.org.
