The Big Ten-Cent Hustle

CBS Radio Mystery Theater "The Big Ten-Cent Hustle" is a Mystery from Wednesday, December 21, 1977.

The “talking” dime, fresh from the mint, goes from a bank to a philanthropist, who gives it to Joe and Maggie, a broke and unemployed couple. On their way to take a job as a chauffeur and maid, Joe gives the dime, their last, to a beggar, who realizes the coin’s value. When Joe and Maggie learn that their new boss has heard about the coin and is willing to pay $2,500 for it, Joe vows to take it back from the beggar—even if it means he has to murder him to get it.
