In return, she gives him a rusty coin, saying it will bring luck. Later, a coin expert discovers it is an extremely rare 1933 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle worth millions. The coin leads lawyers to uncover that the woman is actually Martha, heir to a wealthy family who disappeared after a violent robbery decades earlier and lost her memory from the trauma.<\/p>\n<p>Arthur helps reunite Martha with her surviving relatives, who place her in proper care. Refusing to profit from the tragedy, he uses part of the reward money to create the \u201cLady Liberty Foundation,\u201d helping homeless people with food, coats, and mental-health support. Martha later thanks him, and Arthur realizes the real \u201cluck\u201d came not from the gold coin, but from choosing kindness and seeing a person instead of ignoring her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>A junior analyst gives his coat to a homeless woman freezing outside his office in Philadelphia.
