    The 1961 film "The Children's Hour" is about two women who run a small school for girls and a very nasty little girl.

    In one scene, a maid uncovers some items stolen by the nasty girl:

    One of the items is an encased cent (date unknown) labeled "Joe W. Brown's Horseshoe Casino, Downtown Las Vegas, Nevada".

    The Horseshoe Casino was an old casino and was actually owned by a Benny Binion who used Brown as a front.

    The Horseshoe Casino has another numismatic connection: Benny's son Ted helped run the casino and when Ted died in 1998 a hoard of several thousand silver dollars was found buried on his property.
