    New to Netflix. I watched this last night. It's about four kids in high school who are trying to save their school after one of the kids Dad in convicted of stealing $10 million dollars of the school's funds. They decide to create a Michigan State quarter error coin to sell by breaking into the Mint and tampering with a die. It's not the greatest movie but fun and uses a bunch of terminology that we use here that might be fun for Newbs and shows a bit of the Mint operations. 1 coin heist.jpg

    In English but that's the quickest image I could find.

    Translation:
    Hit at the Mint.

    Strange that they would use that Italian phrase in the title of an American movie, that has nothing to do with Italy.

    Dearborn Above average collector - Is that an Error?

    "Colpo Alla Zecca" means "Shot At The Mint"

    It's because this was released in multiple countries. Very annoying at the end watching the credits list 6 or more countries, all of the over dubs character names. Italy, Poland, Hungary, Brazil, France, Mexico and some I have forgotten.

    I don't do Netflix but I'll keep my eye out if it comes on some other channel. Thanks for the heads up.

    Sorry, but if you watched this B grade movie, that's one hour and 36 minutes you'll never get back.
    Even a non-coin person would laugh at this movies image of the U.S. Mint. Totally unbelievable.

    I agree, it was totally unbelievable, that was the fun part. How could anyone possibly get away with what they did. Working on that die with a butane torch? Inept security? But it did have most of the terminology down correct. Maybe even a C grade movie. These are the type I like to pick apart.
