droppin dimes

To inform the police of a crime, from the time when a payphone worked on a dime, snitches would drop the dime and call the police.

We all had 25 cents when we did the crime, now you only got a nickel, you musta dropped a dime. --Papoose

Dropping Dimes

This means to snitch on someone or to turn them in. Back when phone calls were only a dime, people would DROP A DIME into the pay phone, possibly anonymously to police. Thus Dropping Dimes got someone arrested or snitched on.

Some one was dropping dimes on me and the police picked me up. I think it was that snitch Jimmy!
