Ill start, I never used a check. The only way I can get a house is waiting for my parents to die.

I used to keep quarters in my pocket in case I needed to call home. If I didn't have any change, I'd call collect and leave a message as my name so that nobody was charged.

55?

If OP was calling home as a teen then 45 or under is more likely, since calls on most US payphones cost a dime up until the mid-80s, when they started costing a quarter.

Oh man...i forgot those days. In college i would call my mom collect and she would reject it and call back.
