I recently saw a great numismatically-oriented Perry Mason episode: The Case of the Wooden Nickels. Notwithstanding the title, the plot revolves around a collector who desperately wants to acquire one the four original Confederate Half dollars. He needs it to go with his collection which includes a 1913 Liberty nickel, a 1796 Silver dollar, a gold fugio and an “1884 trade dollar with chop marks” Rare coins, but no one handles them very carefully. One scene has Paul Drake standing on a street corner flipping and catching the Confederate half when a guy approaches and asks if Paul would give him a half dollar so he could get something to eat. Spoiler alert: Paul gives him a buck.
