A New Hope coin mystery.

[drusselmeyer]

Does anyone remember the scene in episode IV when han is leaving the cantina and he flips a coin to the bartender? It looks square.

Has anyone ever identified one of those??

Maybe it's a cubit.

It's a credit, no? They tend to be square

I just re-watched the scene. It looks kinda oval to me and pretty big. My first thought was a Japanese 100 Mon coin. But those tend to have square holes in them. What Han throws doesn't.

There was a thread on this years ago but disappeared in one of the server migrations.

I asked about this ages ago and everyone was clueless.

Accept the coin Han tossed was round.
