Message:: [QUOTE="willieboyd2, post: 2232211, member: 4910"]I watched the 1939 "The Wizard of Oz" and did not find any coins in it. The closest that I could find was the "Swami Token" and "Professor Marvel" from the film. <img src="http://www.brianrxm.com/posts/post_token_goodluck_swami.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />Swami Token The "Swami" depicted on the coin was not a Muslim, Hindu, or Asian.He was a carnival worker who wore a turban, gazed into a crystal ball, told  fortunes, and gave advice.One carnival term for such a worker was "raghead". Some of the "swamis" made it into the movies, including this fellow: <img src="http://www.brianrxm.com/posts/post_movie_wizardofoz_profmarvel.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />Professor Marvel from "The Wizard of Oz" <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
