It was a nickel a week for staying in the house all by myself for an hour (I was 4 or 5) while one parent went to work and the other came home.

Saving my dimes and quarters that I would get for doing small jobs for my parents or grandparents, and then going downtown to the Five and Dime to buy little doll that I wanted.

My Pop was always barefoot in the house when no guests were around. So when it was cold outside. He'd send me for the paper in the driveway. I was maybe 4 and he'd give me a quarter. That was Bank back then! Then he'd always say "2 bits 4 bit six bits a dollar" which was a little over my head at the time.

getting 2 nickels or a dime when I lost a tooth as a child. Dad would ask which is more? I thought two nickels were more than a dime.

Probably when my mom put coins on the surfaces she wanted me to dust and then I could collect them.

That a nickel at the small neighborhood store would buy a small bag of candy, like malt balls 3 for a penny and licorice 1 cent a piece, and gum 3 for another penny. I thought that was great.

Buying a Cabbage Patch Kid at age 8 or so with my own money that I earned from somewhere. I can't remember how now, but I know it wasn't gift money.
