one of the most significant recurring images throughout both the scrooge mcduck comics and ducktales is scrooge's Number One Dime. he earned it in 1877 and held onto it throughout all his adventures as a shining inspiration, the guiding light throughout his life. being a scottish lad, the american dime was worthless, causing scrooge to feel scammed out of his hard work. he did the logical thing that anyone would in this scenario, and became inspired to become the richest duck in the world, promising to himself that he would earn his way to the top WITHOUT scamming others.
