    Entry:

    I remember during the 1964 NY World's Fair there was a place where you gave them a dime and they 'bombarded it' and gave it back to you in a rubber holder.

    Neat keepsake.

    But!

    They were too easy to pop out the dime to use for candy. remember- a candy bar back then was 5 cents.
