A lighter that has a coin tube on the side that has a slot for a dime. Upon inserting a dime the gas button is unlocked allowing use of the lighter. At the bottom a key unlocks the coin tube allowing removal of the dimes as well as the owners free use of the lighter. Good for friends who borrow lighters
all the time and you make some money! .....It would be sold primarily as a novelty item for lighter buffs.

So, this is like a vending machine sorta thing or are you just tired of people asking for a light? |

This is surely in the running for "Most Miserly Invention of the Year" award. |

The sentiment is laudable, but the
implementation is doomed. As long as
there's an alternative that doesn't
involve all this palarver, nobody will
adopt this. Or if they do, they'll bypass
it. |

That even applies to the context which I
assumed this would fall within (until I
read the idea fully and found that it has
a slightly weaker remit) - that of trying
to limit your own use of the lighter,
presumably for furthering your own
well-being. |

Putting money in the lighters of smokers? I wonder where that would end up. For shame [obesemind]. |
