A couple of members have mentioned the 1990 film "Ghost" where Patrick Swayze is murdered
and returns as a ghost to protect his girlfriend Demi Moore from the murderers.
The film has a couple of scenes showing closeups of US pennies.

Early in the film Patrick and Demi are remodeling an old loft and Patrick finds a jar with an 1898 Indian Head penny in it.

Later, after Patrick becomes a ghost, he finds Whoopi Goldberg, a confidence artist who he can communicate with.
They go to Demi's apartment but she will not let Whoopi in.
Whoopi pushes a penny under the door and Patrick levitates it, showing that he is present.

Only the obverse side is shown but the coin appears to be a Lincoln copper cent dated 1943-S.
