<p>[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 3233902, member: 15588"]The 1918 short "Just Rambling Along" features a very young Stan Laurel who finds himself with a cafe tab that he can't pay. A woman sitting at his table had secretly swapped her considerably more expensive tab for his. Right after he looks at his tab in shock, the film cuts to a wavering, blurry and poorly shot closeup featuring the reverse of what looks like a Barber dime. It's not hard to imagine why the filmmakers chose the reverse of the Barber over the then recently released Mercury - the words "One Dime" show up pretty prominently, especially on the grainy film of the time, but Barbers were likely still circulating heavily in 1918 anyway. It's actually a funny little movie and available on YouTube for those of you looking for an old coin in an old movie experience.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.getmilked.com/pics/Laurel1918.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://www.getmilked.com/pics/Dime1918.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
