I’m old enough to remember being able to scrounge around the house for pennies and heading down to Gracie’s corner store so I could buy some Swedish fish. They were 1 cent each. Gracie counted them out and put them in a small paper bag for you.

A major score was finding a dime or quarter on the street. When the Whatchamacallit first came out they were 25 cents!
