en	Secret of Atlantis
nl	Oom Dagobert wil een kwartje heel veel waard laten worden door te zorgen dat dat kwartje zeldzaam wordt. Hij zorgt ervoor dat hij alle kwartjes in bezit krijgt om ze vervolgens in de zee te gooien. Op een gegeven moment verliest hij het enige kwartje wat hij in bezit heeft en hij moet gaan duiken in de zee op zoek naar de overige kwartjes.. (by snowmansion, history)
fr	Après que Donald a revendu une pièce rare que son oncle lui avait donné sans connaître sa véritable valeur, Picsou décide de racheter toutes les pièces d'une autre série sauf une qui vaudra alors une fortune, mais elle est détruite et il faut partir en chercher une autre au fond de l'eau (by duckstories, history)
de	US vernichtet alle Zehner, die 1916 geprägt wurden und behält nur ein Exemplar, um es an Sammler zu verkaufen. Als dieses von einer Dampfwalze plattgewalzt wird, sucht er sie im Meer und entdeckt Atlantis wieder. (by Duckmäuser, history)
no	Skrue prøver å gjøre sin mynt den sjeldneste i verden, men må dra under vann for å finne den i Atlantis
