    How did young Scrooge McDuck earn his first dime?

    Question #73251. Asked by Czolgolz. (Dec 12 06 9:42 PM)

    		According to The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck by Don Rosa, Scrooge earned the dime when he started working as a shoeshine boy on his tenth birthday. Before that it belonged to Howard Rockerduck (the father of John Rockerduck). The customer who paid it to him "cheated" Scrooge from Scrooge's point of view (an American dime being unspendable in Scotland). In reality, Scrooges' Father gave the customer, a miner, the dime, the miner then passed it on to Scrooge. McDuck kept it as a reminder not to be fooled again in the future.
