I moved from a 10c per can state to a 0c per can state. It drastically affected my income as a kid.

we did not have a per can thing but you could get money per pound. it was a lot of cans. likely made as much finding coins on the ground while looking for cans. newspaperstands and payphones were good for a quarter fairly often.
