Today sees the introduction of the new 12-sided £1 coin, so let’s have a look for films about the stuff that, it is said, makes the world go round and yet also brings evil to its lovers.

Many films cover the subject of making money – and we have covered Greed before – but I’m more interested here in stories where the money itself is the issue (because, say, its sudden loss or gain changes the dynamics of a relationship). As in 1998’s A Simple Plan, where the discovery of a big bag of greenbacks leads to a whole heap of trouble.

What films about money would you recommend?
