nfine Pillar of the Community United States 3468 Posts	Posted 03/30/2023 6:18 pm My grandparents were musicians that worked in clubs and bars. Whenever we went to see them perform, grandpa would give me red quarters to buy his cigarettes and for the jukebox between sets. Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24939 Posts	Posted 03/30/2023 9:09 pm In the '60s my dad acquired a couple of slot machines - actual one-armed bandits. One fed with nickels, the other with quarters. The money boxes still had change in them, and there were quite a few red quarters in that one machine.

atticguy Pillar of the Community United States 1373 Posts	Posted 03/30/2023 9:28 pm Yes, I have seen many, but not recently. They were also used for jukeboxes. Report this Post to the Staff
captainmandrake1 Pillar of the Community United States 878 Posts	Posted 03/30/2023 9:33 pm Saw them all the time in the 80s and always wondered since they were always red. And now I know-thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/31/2023 11:53 am Also painted quarters and used in bars to run the juke box. When the vender would empty the coins, he would give back the red painted coins. (Back in the day) Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 03/31/2023 6:51 pm Yes my family owned a restaurant in the 60s. Used them in the jukebox all the time to get the place jumping. Report this Post to the Staff
