Are coins still used in men’s washrooms in truck stops, bars, restaurants, etc to buy rubber items?

@JDmac72chrgr you don’t have to tell me about the “good ol days” like I’m an idiot. I love old stuff, I love history, not only can I write notes, I can do it cursive too, I can even drive those weird cars with 3 pedals

At sometime the canister was recycled to store various things.

Yep....like drinking beer out of.

The "Kodak 100" was a popular apres-ski event in Europe in the 1980's and '90's.

Try drinking 100 film cannisters of beer.......I bet most here would struggle. Sounds easy.

to buy rubber items?

Tires are more expensive than that....you'll need a wallet full of notes.

Ford guys would use those 35mm cannisters to store their condoms.

For young people, that is a film canister for old fashioned cameras. You would take the film in to a photography show that sold cameras also. Then you would get actual pictures to put in your photo album. There are still a few of those places left.
At sometime the canister was recycled to store various things. Coins as an example of one use.

I've still got some aluminum AGFA film canisters. Filled with tiny screws, lightbulbs and assorted stuff from years ago.

My grandparents owned a photography studio and they had a development room and I remember those canisters well.
What a cool process to see pictures come to life. The room had a sulfur smell and the red only lights were something to behold when you are a child !
