Coin rolls in a movie contain what kind of coins, silver dollars, $20 gold pieces?

Two coin rolls appear in an American film along with a wrapped bundle of prop paper money.


Coin rolls and paper money in suitcase (coin rolls at bottom right of picture)

The paper money appears to be the common film prop copies of Mexican Revolution notes, usually 7" x 3" or 18cm x 8cm.

Comparing the diameters of the coin rolls and the size of the paper money, the right roll appears to be a silver dollar roll, and the left roll contains smaller coins.

The rolls, of course, would not contain real coins but just about anything to keep the rolls expanded.

The left roll is marked "$20", if this is supposed to be a roll of 20 silver dollars, then what kind of larger coins are in the right roll.

But if the "$20" marking means $20 gold pieces (double eagles), then the two roll sizes would match actual coins.

Any ideas?

Well, $20 rolls for half-dollars used to appear occasionally, and the proportions of that roll would be about right for that.

 

Thank you.

They look like a $20 roll of half dollars and a $20 roll of silver dollars.
