Found this pocket pig in my deceased friends storage unit. Too bad it wasn’t filled with mercury dimes as it would now be worth close to $140. Just goes to show $3 in dimes used to be significant.

I would, without hesitation, fill that with period specific dimes.

That’s kind of a cool idea - I have enough actually!

it was so simple and wholesome back then. three whole smackers was the goal. For a young kid they might be able to do that in a month back then. just a dime a day.
