NUMISMATICS AT THE MOVIES: SAHARA
Jeff Reichenberger writes: "Another action movie with
numismatics weaved into the plot! Has anyone seen the
movie "Sahara"? I read something about Confederate
coinage being part of the plot. How about a review from
a numismatist?"[I've not seen the film nor heard much about the plot, so
perhaps one of our readers can fill us in. The Internet Movie
Database has a plot summary which notes: "In the scorching
desert, Pitt finds a gold mine manned by slaves and uncovers
the truth behind two enduring mysteries -- the fate of a Civil
War ironclad and its secret connection with Lincoln's
assassination."
