Yes very common in the UK, no money no power, and people just sat in the dark or went to bed if they had no coins. Common in rental properties. I remember them from the 1960’s, Union Jack Club, a servicemen’s doss house for want of a better word, cheap accomodation but 1 shilling in the meter to do your ironing, then go as fast as possible before it ran out. This one is a relatively modern one, it takes 1 pound coins, back in the 60’s they were using 1 pound notes and the technology for a machine that accepted notes wasn’t around. The 1 pound coin was first issued April 1983. Money was short, it was very rare to get a 5 pound note and they were relatively huge pieces of paper. If you presented one as payment in a shop the proprietor would stretch it, snap it, hold it up to the light to check the watermarks, recheck it several times and sometimes use a magnifying glass, then visually check you out before they would accept it.
