I remember my father telling me that in the 1920s he could buy enough candy for a penny to make himself sick. For a nickel he said he could treat the whole block.
When I was a kid there was a candy/ice cream shop where they had two plates, one filled with Bazooka bubble gum and the other in Mason mints. If your change came to a few pennies you could take it in gum or candy instead.
