I can’t tell you how many times I checked the coin drops as a kid lol

@AthrillatheHunt Oh, I did, as well - every time I encountered a pay phone. I would get lucky just once in a while.

@PhoenixPhail that was 1 of the most important life lessons a boy could learn. (Keep trying and 1 day you will get lucky ).

Yeah but they never had water and ice machines then to do the same thing.

Water and Ice was free!

And that was when you could get 10 cents for glass pop bottles too. It taught us the value of checking looking for and saving our change.
