Why would a shop owner used a marked dime to start up his jukebox, and then later take that particular dime back from the coin box? Why does it matter which dime he took back?
 

As Commander Benson explained, the intent wasn't to get the same dime back. It was to keep track of how many dimes the owner himself had fed into the machine.

...our neighborhood theater featured a "Summertime Fun Show" series for kids one year (I think it was in 1963, but it may have been 1964). Admission was 10c and for that you received a box of popcorn, and got to see a couple of cartoons, a short subject, a feature film and one chapter a week of the 1943 Batman serial. I loved every minute of it.



For ten cents I'd love every minute of it today as well! What a great deal.

It's so sad that most neighbourhood theatres have closed in the face of suburban mall multiplexes.
