That true. Alan Young cam off as close to an actual Scot without being truly Sottish and Ms Beakley, Joan Gerber just made sure she sounded like someone’s mother.
Donald was the exception has he was established long ago before Duck Tales or older Scrooge McDuck Cartoons.
Disney is not allowing Donald to change now, even if the bulk of the Writing and Animation Staff came from Gravity Falls.
From what I understand the money in the money bin is supposed to be all the money Scrooge earned personally. He has a lot more, but it’s money made by his companies and ventures and is held in banks while the money in the bin is stuff he was personally involved in earning.
It depends on the author / show but I’ve always liked the way Don Rosa depicted it as more of a memento than a lucky charm. He got payed with a foreign coin (almost worthless) for his first job and keeps it as a reminder to never be fooled again when it comes to money.
Scrooges lucky dime is kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy, since Scrooge wouldn’t have become the duck he is had Burt not “tricked” him.
It’s only as valuable as it is because of what McDuck made of it… So it creates this interesting question of whether the dime is actually magic, or is it the duck that was inspired by it the magical/lucky one?
Or we can go into the idea that because of the sentimental value Scrooge put on the Dime, it had it’s own kind of “magic”.
Magica wanted to use the Dime because of that, its not that it’s actually luckly. It is because that the richest Duck hat ever lived held sentimental value in something that should be low value monetarily.
That the lucky Dime it represents a turning point in Scrooge’s life. And Scrooge tried so hard to keep the dime away from Magica DeSpell not because it’s lucky but what he knows she would do with it and how it effects the world.
Like your favorite Uncle gives you a old, beat-up baseball cap.
The Hat it self is practically worthless, you can’t even give it away.
The value is in its a gift from a love one and not it’s monetary value.
I think the idea in the show is that the dime was incredibly sentimental for Scrooge, but also was some sort of focal point for all his business deals and makings, which Magica wanted to steal and make use of.
There was an entire episode dedicated to the dime where is was the only thing to his name roughly three times and he was able to recover or pull out ahead each time due to something it contributed. Like he was trying to hide it from some angry railroad workers, and when he went to bury it in some seemingly worthless land he owned, he struck oil.
