In this video I learn why coins are painted red. Some junk silver coins are painted red. Junk silver quarters and junk silver dimes can be painted red. These coins were painted red so that a business owner could put them in the juke box and get their coins back when the money was collected.

A quarter had the purchasing power of over $2 in 1960, so I don’t blame them, I’d want my quarter back too! 🤷🏽‍

Honestly the most surprising part to me is that the rental companies would be considerate enough to give back the house coin instead of just claiming it like you’d expect these days

Back in 2005, I used to work for an arcade, and we used house coins when a customer claimed their money was eaten by the game cabinet. This also served as letting the owner know that particular machine was having sporadic problems, but not every time.

my grandma made us carry a painted quarter and never spend it. her reason was "if you end up completely out of money and are in trouble, you have your last quarter to call her" I gave my daughter that same painted quarter in a framed picture of my grandma with the words "I'll always be just a call a way".

Game rooms and arcades in the 70s did that also. If someone lost a quarter in a game or pool table the owner would put red coins in to give the person their play. When the coin boxes were emptied out, they got them back.

My mom owned a bar in the 80s and we used the house coins in not just the jukebox, but also the pool table and the arcade cabinets. A blast from the past!

My husband worked for a juke box company and I would paint a roll of quarters every couple of months with red nail polish for him to give to his customers so they could play music. What a wonderful memory you brought back for me

When my Dad retired and sold his neighborhood bar, his favorite customers were given a shot glass and a red quarter to remember the place, and the good times spent there. That was over 40 years ago. In a recent thread on a local community forum, someone asked if anyone remembered my Dad's place, and I was astonished how many people starting sharing stories about the bar and my old man.

Never in a million years would I have guessed why some quarters were painted red. Or blue. Thanks for sharing this video.

My dad worked for a vending company that had pinball games also in the 70’s. Each week he gave me $5 in red quarters to spend at the roller rink. Best of times! Miss you dad.

No way!! I have a red quarter myself and I’ve always hung on to it because of how unique I thought it looked. I’m never letting it go now. Thanks for the history lesson 😃

Exactly right! My grandfather had "red" quarters at his country store... he'd give to us kids! ❤

Way back in early 70's I was the manager of an apartment complex. We had washers and dryers that took quarters. My laundry was free as it was part of my compensation. My quarters were painted red and the owner would return them to me.

My Mom would say "you talk more then a juke box full of red quarters" Very cool History! Thanks Harry!!

Quarters are also painted to mark "prize" quarters in a change machine. I knew a laundry that said, "If you get a red quarter it is worth a free wash or dry." Not just for jukeboxes.

Yes Harry is 💯 percent right because I had a jukebox in my bar and the company would give me those red coins back .
