Title: 15 cent pop machines
Post by: on October 27, 2003, 06:57:51 pm
Hello there, My name is Lee and I found this old Coin Acceptor for a pop machine in like new condition. It works on machines that dispenced pop for 15 cents. My question is what years that pop dispenced from machines for 15 cents. The reason for all this is I want to put this coin acceptor on Ebay and was told it was for a coke or pepsi machines. I just need to know what years. Thanks Lee

You want to place it on Greed-Bay!
What about trying out SMC Auctions first...?

Generally speaking, sodas priced at 15 cents varied across the country... What I mean is that some areas still had machines set at 10 cents while others where increasing to 15 cents. This migration didn't take long though; not as long as it took to get from 5 cents to 10 cents since there where prices between 5 & 10 at 6 & 7 cents that where commonly seen...

Most major soda brands where selling 15 cent sodas in the early to mid 60's.

Jim is right on I was around in the early 60's and most of the machines in Kansas were at 15-cents
