The dime's for the call home if the patches don't work.

I always thought the dime was used to rough-up the tube a bit to allow
for greater adhesion. That's how I use it anyway. The dime is the
lightest american coin with a rough edge, thus it gets the call over a
quarter.

Wherever I go it goes (including into the pockets of airport security
guards when I forget I have it - fortunately they're cheap). The edge
and back of the nail file/screwdriver is perfect for smoothing
patch
Yup. Smoothing it out. Figure most of the folks at Rivendell are
strong enough not to need tire levers. When I did my own kit, used a
nickel. Wanted a smooth edge. But there is such a weight penalty.
That reminds me, my non-Rivendell sourced patch kit needs a coin.
Maybe that Fiji 10 cent pie
Well, the photos show that the patches are dime-sized, but why the
dime for customers? To smooth the patch? I use my tire lever.

Because they charge you directly for the dime they throw into the
patch kit.
