#1 Dime and Security Blanket have the same picture. It's a great picture for the latter trope, but the former could probably use another. Maybe someone could find a picture of Scrooge Mc Duck with the dime which is the Trope Namer?

That's not a bad replacement image. I really don't know how to add a page image correctly, so I haven't changed it yet.

Is there a larger/clearer image of Scrooge by any chance?

I don't think we're gonna find a better pic than that, honestly, but let's give it another coupla days and see what pops up.

It's a little busy and I think too much detail is lost when it's shrunk down to forum size, but here it is for perusal:

Here's a cropped version; it focuses a bit more on the dime.

That's pretty good; would it be worth the trouble to white out the stuff going on around him?

[up] No, that's preposterous, it can't be done.

Might not need a caption at all. Should I go ahead and change it?

Looks good either with the white background or the lavender one. I think the white one is a hair better— he'll just be standing right on the page with no sharp "here endeth the page image" line. But the cropping on the lavender one brings the focus on the dime better. I can't decide. And it doesn't need a caption.

In my opinion, the lavender background pic is better, because I think the focus on the dime is more important than the background's color.

The lavender pic's noticeably artifacted, otherwise it would be good.

I prefer the white background, although both pics are good.

Best of both worlds?

I would suggest the episode of Spongebob Squarepants where Mr. Krabs has his first ever dime that's a giant dime-shaped rock ("I've been in business a long time, boy"), but this works too.

I like Brit's even better. It is the best of both.

[up][up]Ha, I thought of that one too. I have a feeling the Scrooge one is the best, but let me find the Krabs one.

Does Krabb's First dime have this aspect:

"an item that is in and of itself of average or little interest (e.g. it's not a BFG or otherwise especially useful, usually the opposite even), but to the character, it is ridiculously overimportant in a strictly sentimental way."

That's the trope, rather than necessarily "first [X] he ever earned/made/whatever".
