The $100,000 Nickel

A thief (Victor Buono) steals a very-rare illegally-minted 1913 Liberty Head nickel valued at $100,000 (equal to $523,538 today in inflation, but actually sold for $3,737,500 in 2010), which his panicked accomplice later drops into a vending machine. Bruce Broughton received an Emmy nomination for his score.
