Best Answer

When you wanted to make a phone call the person making the call put in the dime or quarter, picked up the receiver, got a dial tone, and dialed the call. It was very much like a coke machine. There were several coin slots and the coins fell into a box at the bottom of the phone. Actually, a very simple item.
