Yes I remember when the calls were a dime. I can't believe it! And a phone book too? I mean do they even have them anymore. I remember having to pull over find a phone to call someone I would be late, or get directions

I saw phone booths last March when I vacationed in Scotland, the phone booths were pretty cool looking also. My daughter took a picture in one of them.

@Pezzie Based on the title, I had something COMPLETELY different in mind when I entered! Visions of children in khaki shorts, safari hats, on camel back somewhere in Egypt. This is PRICELESS!! I LOVE IT!!!🤣😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

I could not help but say, "WOW!" when I put it into context.😂😂

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

If they did, they probably would not have the coins since most of the world uses debit or credit cards

I have seen phone booths that you can swipe a credit or debit card to make a telephone call.

This is hilarious. The young teens seem mesmerized by such a foreign object.

We somehow made it without cell phones but could always count on the trusty phone booth on those long road trips of yore.

@SaveTheTurtles When I first started dating in 1968 my mom always gave me several dimes (along with $5.00) to keep in my handbag--just in case. Luckily, they were never needed!
