00:00The singer always had 10 dimes in his pocket, and the reason for this is kind of sad.
00:06You see, his son was kidnapped years prior, and all of the ransom calls had to be made from payphones.
00:13He would panic, terrified that he would run out of coins while trying to negotiate with the kidnappers.
00:19Now, after two days, his son was released safely, but Sinatra never forgot that fear of being helpless.
00:26So he carried exactly 10 dimes with him for the rest of his life.
00:31And when he was buried, his daughter was sure to place 10 dimes in his pocket for him.
