Before 65 they used real silver dollars and quarters. And I'm just taking a wild guess but I think one of these same silver quarters today goes for about $5 with a silver dollar going for about $20. There were probably some nickel machines, but I doubt the casinos were generous with the comps on those. I'm thinking the San Francisco Liberty Bells used nickels. Also, they didn't use expensive carpet, instead they used sawdust like in a horse barn.
