The 2009 film "Drag Me to Hell" is a supernatural horror film about a young woman who is cursed by a Gypsy witch and her attempts to remove the curse and a demon. A woman employee of a Los Angeles bank visits her boyfriend, a college professor, and gives him a 1929 Standing Liberty which she claims to have found at the bank. The obverse of the coin is shown.

Christine Brown works as a loan officer at a bank. She drives to a local college where her boyfriend Clayton Dalton has just taken a position as a professor.

She fixes his computer printer and he tells her "You are cocky and sexy and unbelievable."

Clayton opens the envelope and pulls out a silver United States quarter (a 25 cents coin).

Clayton exclaims "It's a 1929 Standing Liberty, and it's almost fully struck."

Clayton asks "You found this in regular circulation at the bank?" Christine replies that she did and Clayton then tells her "I'm gonna add this to my nerdy coin collection." Only the obverse of the quarter is shown in the film.

A United States Standing Liberty quarter 1929:

The Standing Liberty quarter was minted from 1916 to 1930.

The story really begins when elderly Gypsy woman Ilenka Ganush comes in to the bank and asks for an extension on her home mortgage. Christine wants to impress her boss with how "tough" she is and refuses the extension. Mrs. Ganush then waits in the parking lot and accosts Christine as she leaves work. They fight and then Mrs. Ganush grabs a button off of Christine's blouse and puts a curse on the button. Strange thing then begin happening to Christine and she visits various occult practitioners who tell her that the Gypsy has called up a demon to take Christine's soul. Christine visits a occultist, San Dena, who lives in a large old house.

San Dena and Christine confer about trapping the demon in a goat.

San Dena tells Christine that she has to give the cursed button to someone else. Christine places the button in a white envelope. Christine digs up Mrs. Ganush's body and leaves the button in the grave. Later at a train station she meets Clayton who pulls out a white envelope.

She opens the envelope and finds the button. Somehow the white envelopes with the button and the coin got switched.
