Well, I remember a story where Magica made an agreement with Scrooge about
number eleven: that dime, combined with #1 dime of other very rich men,
could do the trick and make her rich... It is a story around issue 1800 of
the weekly Topolino: a nice story but a not-so-nice art...
Besides, there are a lot of stories about #1 dime w/o Magica, as well as
stories about Scrooge ability to remember EXACTLY every thing about his
money (and not only dime: he can recognize his money simply snuffing it!!)

Yes, sure, in Becattini's index, for example, as already Per pointed out
(and no, Per, I'm quite sure #2 is not out yet: I'll tell you more after
Lucca convention). If you are interested, I could give you more information
about him, or give you the references... BTW, what about starting an
archive list about all the books ON Disney comics? It would be very
interesting, I think...
