It's blood money of course. 
Although I have seen red paint coins I did not know this is what they were used for. Makes sense though.

Dives usually seeded the jukebox with their own quarters. It helped them figure out customer money from house money.
"Racist" is a toolword. You must know that.
Any objective examination of the effect of "them" has to lead you to the behavior and ideology that is now termed, "racist."
Refute if you can.

I used to see painted coins at the laundromat back in the 70s.

Back in the day, smoeone showed me how to use a beer tab to run into the coin slot ..... free laundry!
Of course, I would have never done such a thing.

Prior to the newer security additions, KD brand washers would fit various coin slots.
We sold CASES to truckers.
This was when pay phones gave change.
They did work.
