The 1969 film "The Trouble With Girls" is about a traveling Chautauqua company in 1927. Chautauqua shows were something like circuses without the flashier elements. The manager, Walter Hale (Elvis Presley), has many problems with employees and townspeople.
 
A couple of coins are seen in the film. A little boy shows a silver dollar to a little girl. A gambling scene with cards and cash on the table shows a prop coin.
