Half-A-Dollar-Bill is a surviving[1] 1924 American silent drama film directed by W. S. Van Dyke and starring Anna Q. Nilsson.

[2][3] As described in a film magazine review,[4] Captain Duncan McTeague, ashore in Southport, finds a deserted baby boy with a note and half of a dollar bill pinned to its clothing.

The note states that the mother hopes some day to return and identify the child with the other half of the dollar bill.

When he is four years old, the captain discharges his mate Martin Webber, who seeks revenge by kidnapping the boy.

A copy of Half-A-Dollar-Bill was preserved by MGM labs and a print is held by the Cinematheque Royale de Belgique.
