I remember some eating establishments like this when I was a kid. It didn't cost a nickel, but the costs were relatively inexpensive and it was convenient .. I can't remember if the food was any good or not .. I was a kid.

For 5 cents and slightly more you could get a pretty nice meal. This is when 5 cents was worth 5 cents. This is before the federal reserve and a dollar was worth a dollar. In today's cost, that dollar is worth about 2 cents. You have to wonder how those folks in DC managed to let the Federal Reserve off yet another time and fly under the radar ... $$$$.

Young enough to not remember this but it did remind me of how I used to buy my cigarettes from coin machines.

There's a place like this that opened up recently in NYC. Saw something about it on the Food Network channel.
