Won't you help me mister Jesus?
Won't you tell me if you can?
When you see this world we live in
Do you still believe in man?
If my songs become my freedom
And my freedom turns to gold
Then I'll ask the final question
If the answer could be sold
"Tuppence" is British slang for two penny coins.
The Mysterious Egyptian Magic Coin
Coins in Movies
Coins on Television
"Stingy Jenny saved up all her pennies;
Straight to the bank she would go.
The sharks would have their hands around her
But none could get her dough. . . ."

<< <i>Thank you for your time, ah, you've been so much more than kind, and you can keep the dime. >>
Jim Croce, Operator.
Threw the bums a dime in our prime, didn't you.
I mean, like a rolling stone.
"...a quarter is a quarter and a dime is a dime;
I'd sing another chorus but I haven't got the time!"
A saxophone someplace far off played
As she was walking on by the arcade
As the light bust through a-beat-up shade where he was waking up
She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate
And forgot about a simple twist of fate.
Well, kind of

Money For Nothing by Dire Straits if you are talking general reference.
(Can't Buy Me Love by the Beatles a close second.)
Here's a Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares) by Travis Tritt if you are talking more specific denomination
"I got a little change in my pocket going ching-a-ling-a-ling"
Harry Chapin, Taxi.
But if you've got a nickel won't you lay your money down"
"Down on the Corner" CCR
"Trade in your hours for a handful of dimes"
Led Zep, No Quarter, not the right reference but when I hear this song I chuckle thinking its a dude with no quarters.
10 Cents a Dance- Another Depression era classic sung by afew and I recall the one recorded by Ruth Etting
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Don't want a four leaf clover
Don't want an old horse shoe
Want your kiss 'cause I just can't miss
With a good luck charm like you
Come on and be my little good luck charm
Uh-huh huh, you sweet delight
I want a good luck charm
a-hanging on my arm
To have, to have, to hold, to hold tonight
Don't want a silver dollar
Rabbit's foot on a string
The happiness in your warm caress
No rabbit's foot can bring
Come on and be my little good luck charm
Uh-huh huh, you sweet delight
I want a good luck charm
a-hanging on my arm
To have, to have, to hold, to hold tonight
If I found a lucky penny
I'd toss it across the bay
Your love is worth all the gold on earth
No wonder that I say
Come on and be my little good luck charm
Uh-huh huh, you sweet delight
I want a good luck charm
a-hanging on my arm
To have, to have, to hold, to hold tonight
"I went down to the St. James Infirmary
I saw my baby there,
She's laid out on a cold white table,
So so cold, so white, so fair."
Chorus
"Let her go, let her go, God bless her;
Wherever she may be
She may search this wide world over
She'll never find a sweet man like me."
Oh, when I die, bury me
In my high top Stetson hat;
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain
God'll know I died standin' pat.
