I grew up in the 60s and 70s and I never heard anyone say “cool beans” until I read a Stephen King book in the 1990s where had one character say it and I thought it was dorky as hell.

I don’t think this one came out until later in the 80s. I always heard it being used in relation to doing business. Like as in a business deal or decision being good for the bean counters. Cool Beans.

Could have been used in other ways, but I only heard it being used like this in business circles.
