Slightly damaged Scrooge McDuck dispenser, 1991 Duck Tales version (patent 4.966.305).
Character
Scrooge McDuck is a duck character from Disney's Donald Duck stories. Originally merely a supporting character, Donald's uncle, the role of Richest Duck in the World grew until the longer Duck comic stories mostly revolved about Scrooge McDuck's exploits. These include his schemes to earn even more money, his many treasure hunts, on which he usually takes along his grandnephews Dewey, Huey, and Louie, and his constant battle to keep his money out of the hands of villains, most notably the Beagle Boys.
