Message:: [QUOTE="Stephan77, post: 2232208, member: 74244"]Interesting post, but the OP topic was "Movies about coins." Your post about "The Wizard of Oz" you stated is filled with references to money. I don't recall seeing any coins in that movie, although I could be mistaken. As we all know, coins are money, but money is not necessarily coins. If I'm remembering right, I think the first "official" money was actually various types of sea shells with early human tribes. No problem with me at all with the post, I enjoyed it, it's interesting and a fun read. Also, the following info could be wrong, but I recall reading many years ago that Baum said, or somebody wrote incorrectly what he said, that Baum came up with "Oz" from the index on his cabinet file. You know, with a small cabinet index file, some index it A-M and O-Z. Baum made a wise choice, I don't think The Wizard of Am sounds as good. And also, if you're a The Wizard of Oz fan, one of Pink Floyd's songs, I forget which one but it's one of their best, there is a Youtube video showing the song and the progression of the movie played together, and it's obvious that the group did this intentionally - pretty cool. I know, I know, I took the OP topic, even more off topic - LOL[/QUOTE]
