Have any Movies had a coin struck to commemorate them?

  There's some movie tokens out there struck to advertise some 1920-40's films.

  I do not believe that there are any films actually commemorated by United States coins.

  Supposedly the 1915 film "Birth of a Nation" was one of the inspirations for Georgia's Stone Mountain Confederate monument which resulted in the commemorative half dollar.

  Here's a Gibraltar commemorative coin celebrating the film "Casablanca":

  Of course one can find "commemoratives" of just about anything from the those small islands which manufacture "coins".

  

  Recently saw a 35th Anniversary coin for Back to the Future from Duie?

  I can see the next quarter series already being planned at the Mint.... A series of Best Picture Academy Award winners, launched with 'Gone with the Wind', followed by the others in order of popular success. Cheers, RickO

  Yeah! I'm gonna put a spin on this one...hopefully for every ones enjoyment.

  I just watched the 1st movie that ever made me cry. Dang! It was released 50 years ago! That does make one realize they are getting old...but my tear ducks aren't.

  The movie was "Love Story" starring Ali MacGraw + Ryan O'Neal. They just don't make movies like this anymore. The biggest problem I have watching it is I can't hardly keep a dry eye through the movie because I know the ending.

  Sounds like you are going through Andropause (Male Menopause)

  Hope you also stockpiled tissues and not just TP
