It’s impressive because after dropping all those coins into arcade machine he could still afford some smokes.
They were less than a dollar a pack back then.
In the UK some shops would sell you a single cigarette for less the ten of our new pennies. Around '86 I think.
The big kid who had a little bit of moustache would buy a pack of 20 for about 2 quid from the corner shop next to the school and would sell them for 20p each to the other kids.
