    As a long time video gamer I can say that I have never seen a recognizable U.S. coin in any video game until now. During a brief trailer for an upcoming game named Hitman Absolution, the opening scene was that of a blood stained 1889 Morgan dollar. It's good to see and perhaps it'll draw young people to the hobby. Here is the link to the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4umoZXWrxso

    I'm excited for Absolution to come out, I've enjoyed all the other hitman games, seeing a coin in the game makes it that much better!

    Sweet. I'd love to create a game and incorporate little details like that.

    By the way, the coin is at 0:13 and 1:17 if anyone is impatient.

    The link seems to not work for me... What can I search to find the video?

    Yeah I can't wait for it either. Allot of good games this year and I was blown away by the trailers released so far. Very happy to see the Morgan in the opening scene.

    Zach if you have a PS3 with internet you can download it from the PSN store or try the Hitman website.

    I wish it were an 1879. I don't have an 1889 :(

    I wonder if it's a CC.

    46 seconds in, it is a game currently out already but it is another "spotting".

    Havent played Batman yet but yeah Two Face's Peace dollar with the marked up side. Probably wouldn't have been caught in game but for trailer purpose it was slowed down.

    This is essential. The video game market cut into our generations hobby time big time. Coins and basketball cards got put on shelves.

    guess who's flipping it? Two Face! It's subliminal!

    I have always wondered what coin Two-Face uses. Pretty neat that they're using the Morgan in Hitman too.

    Two-Face used a 1922 2-headed Peace dollar in the movie.
