You put in a quarter and got a pack with three pennies inserted under the cellophane on the sider of the pack.
Just checked with an inflationi calculator. $.22 from that time would be $2.58 now days.

17 bucks for a pack of cigarettes??? Geez, where in the world do cigarettes cost 17 bucks??? Round here, they are $9.46. What a deal!!!
Also, today I paid $2.80 a gallon for regular gas and that was with 6 cent a gallon discount.
