The color of money

There is a one-page gag by Barks (first appeared in FOUR COLOR 386, 3/1952)
where a salesman asks $crooge whether he has any silver coin to polish (the
salesman will polish them himself to show how good is his stuff). Of course,
$crooge opens the money bin vault and... there appears a roomful of silver
coins!
(And in my Italian copy, Zio Paperone #1, of course all the silver coins are
YELLOW!).
