<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 2218547, member: 15929&quot;]Folks tend to forget that inflation has tainted the perception of the value of coins in a &quot;juke box&quot; or other coin operated medium.</p><p><br /></p><p>Back in the &quot;50&#039;s&quot;, a quarter was a LOT of money for a bar owner to slip into the music machine.</p><p><br /></p><p>Beer was $1.25 a 6 pack and stayed at that level until the mid 70&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>A silver dollar could put a kid into a sugar induced coma and STILL have 45 cents left over for a second visit to &quot;the Corner Grocery Store&quot; the next day.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the OP&#039;s coin, I&#039;ve never heard of a &quot;half dollar&quot; being used in a juke box which has always taken either nickels, dimes, or quarters. Plus, given the date, I&#039;d have to believe that the coin was tagged for some other reason but it does not change the fact that it&#039;s not toning, it&#039;s just been painted for whatever reasons.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anybody KNOW of a coin operated machine which takes Half Dollars?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
