"Donald's Double Trouble" (Disney, 1946)

"Daisy tells Donald he has to improve his English and manners before she'll see him again. Fortunately, an exact double with an English accent, clear speech, and impeccable manners happens by. Donald talks him into posing as Donald, but grows increasingly jealous as Daisy hugs and kisses the stranger."

Washington silver quarter

From an era when American coinage actually had intrinsic value. 

This 1946 quarter was made from 6.25 grams of 90% silver, 10% copper = 0.18 oz pure silver x recent spot price $18.50/oz + the copper = about $3.50 today intrinsic value.
