"Poster 11 - Magica De Spell"
While the Beagle Boys wanted the largest part of $crooge's money (all of it!), this femme fatale wanted the smallest part... only one thin ten-cent piece. But that dime was THE Dime, the first coin $crooge ever earned. According to Magica's (and $crooge's) creator Carl Barks, she wants to use that coin to forge a magic amulet that would give her the Midas Touch...
