Five-and-Dimes

How It's Used

“…but perhaps the most amazing thing about [penny-candy] is that today, in 2004, when five-and-dimes have long since been priced out of existence and a mint-condition 1993 quarter costs $6.95 online, penny candy still costs a penny.”

—no author, “Best Reason to Save Your Pennies,” Saveur, Jan/Feb 04, p. 77.
