| numismatic blunders from Hollywood
Hollywood makes firearm blunders in their films frequently as most gun enthusiasts know, but did you realize that producers also make numismatic mistakes. I was watching the Sharon Stone film The Quick and the Dead the other night and the producer made a blunder that I caught. There is a scene in the film where Sharon Stone orders a glass of whiskey in the bar and puts a quarter down on the bar as she picks up her glass. The thing that grabbed my attention is that the quarter in question was a Standing Liberty and that film is supposed to be set in the old west. I suppose moviegoers unfamiliar with older coins wouldn't catch something as insignificant as that so the producers don't put much thought into it. Are there any other members here that have caught a coin blooper in a movie?
