One store in Auburn, Washington (between Seattle and Tacoma) kept “Sandy,” a horse, at 10 cents until the store closed in 1990. Now she’s in the city’s history museum.
maybe the store keeps it a dime as a loss leader, something to attract customers. that or the sign is a permanent part of the structure, but no longer accurate. it could be that if he looked at the slot it actually demands a dollar

A dime!? God be with the day – it’s been a long time since a ride like that went for as little as a dime.
