This was the obvious solution right from the start. I am surprised it took them this long to come up with it. I would have gone with 5 cents rather than 10, though. What parent will say no to 5 cents?

can someone just walk in with a dime (plus tax of course) and buy a toy?

That might be why they are a dime. store can’t risk selling sometimes very popular toys for below cost.

McDonald's pays Communist China about 10 cents for every thousand of these trinkets they sell for 10 cents each.

A sucker is born every minute.
