Synopsis for "The Penny Plunderers"
Joe Coyne tells how he became a coin-themed villain. After his early attempts at crime garner him mockery for his small spoils, as well as stints in juvenile detention and Blackgate, he decides to adopt coins as a theme and achieves moderate success. When he robs the Coin and Stamp Exposition, however, he is stopped by Batman and Robin, and his giant penny falls on top of him, killing him. To add insult to injury, Batman and Robin have no idea who he is. Coyne finishes his story and finally realizes he isn't in lockup, he's in Hell and the person he's speaking to is a demon.
