Complete the puzzle of the US Morgan silver dollars at Parnell's Soup.

How to unlock the Spare A Dime achievement in L.A. Noire - Definitive Guide

Spare A Dime. 20G. I will try and keep this somewhat spoiler free.

During The Reefer Madness case you will be finding out of circulation Silver Dollar coins either by suspects handing them over or finding them on suspects these have stamps on then containing 3 letters each.

Later at Parnell's Soup Co. Factory after investigating the two bodies Ray Pinker calls you over to inspect the coins you have found. Look under the microscope and put them in the correct order to spell out your next destination. Arrange the coins as follows:

1. The last coin on the right (MAS coin) moves to the empty slot on the left
2. The third coin from the left (ALS coin) moves to the last spot on the right
3. The first coin on the left (ANG coin) moves to the empty slot in the middle
4. This should spell (MAS)(ANG)(KAY)(MET)(ALS)

Your achievement should unlock here.

Good solution, didn't pop for me right away. I finished the case and switched off. Opened the game next day and it loaded after the cut scenes of the following case.

Throughout Reefer Madness you'll have to find a series of US Morgan silver dollars. The first one can be found in the left pocket of Juan Garcia Cruz's jacket. The second coin will be given to you during a cut-scene after you catch the store-clerk at 20th Century Market. The third and fourth coins will be found after the Parnell's Soup shootout. As soon as you find all the silver dollars Ray Pinker will ask you to solve a puzzle. Look at the silver dollars carefully and you will note that they each have specific letters printed on them. Organize the coins so the letters appear as follows:

MAS - ANG - KAY - MET - ALS.

As soon as you finish the puzzle, the achievement should unlock.

*Missable* A puzzle challenge is given to you following the shootout at Parnell's Soup. Arrange these Morgan silver dollars so that they spell 'Masangkay Metals'. This will also prompt another investigator to tell you the address so that you can then travel to that location to complete the case. Collecting all Morgan silver dollars is not necessary to be given this puzzle.

The locations of the Morgan Silver Dollars are:

  • Juan's Silver Dollar - Juan Garcia Cruz’s Residence in coat pocket of first dead criminal, Juan Cruz.
  • Sergio's Silver Dollar - Meet Sergio during tour of Parnell's Soup Factory (if you choose to go to this non-mandatory location).
  • Airto’s Silver Dollar - Interview Airto after foot chase at 20th Century Market.
  • Ernesto’s Silver Dollar - Inspect left hand of first dead gunman after Parnell's Soup Factory shootout.
  • Jorge’s Silver Dollar - Inspect breast pocket of second dead gunman after Parnell's Soup Factory shootout

To solve the riddle you need to collect 5 silver coins.

1) In the left pocket of Juan Garcia Cruz.

2) After the chase in the 20th century Supermarket, you will receive it from the fugitive.

3) During the tour of the factory (at the end you will see a guy tossing a coin).

4) At a soup factory, a dead man has it in his left palm.

5) Further up the stairs and a dead guy with a lot of money in his breast pocket.

And at the end of the matter, when they offer to solve the puzzle, all 5 coins are already on the table.

You need to arrange them like this - MAS-ANG-KAY-MET-ALS -
