Red Dollars were introduced in 1926 as oval pieces of gum emblazoned with a dollar sign, but back then the name had nothing to do with the flavor. With about 75 pieces per pound, perhaps Red Dollars are not a hedge against inflation but they sure are an investment against going hungry especially when you desire their delicious cherry flavor and fun to eat chewy texture.
Here's a fun fact -- Red Dollar derives from a slang expression that means something new, popular, or innovative, and it wasn’t until the 1940’s that the name was changed to Red Dollars to reflect the candy that everybody loves.
Delicious to eat and a good value too is why Red Dollars are one of the most sought after gummi candies that we offer not to mention amongst the hardest to find. I guess we can chalk that up to "supply and demand."
Net Weight 4 lb.
Approximately 75 pieces per pound
1" in diameter
Please note that as of 2019, these candies are now made by a new manufacturer and have a "new and improved" cherry flavor

I was hoping that these would be like the red hot dollars of old, but they are not. They seem a bit softer and more cherry than raspberry. The red hot dollars had a texture more like Swedish Fish or Jujy Fruits, while these are closer to Dots. That said, they are excellent, were very fresh, and I would certainly buy them again.
Thank you for taking time to leave a review. We apologize that they did not meet your expectations of being similar to the old red hot dollars. We appreciate your feedback though and are glad you still enjoyed them. Thank you for choosing CandyFavorites.com!

Nothing like the old dollar
Nothing like the old dollar candies. If I would’ve known they were juju coins. I would’ve never ordered them they suck. Please take me off your mailing list.

This is the second time I have bought these in the last couple of months. I was so happy the first time. They are so soft and I love the taste so much. The package keeps them soft
Everything Wonderful...Fresh always, Deliver Quick. The only think was the order was large & in one bag would have liked in two bags. Recommend to everyone...Thank you Always
A favorite of WW II soldiers. Good reason. Less sweet than modern candies, the mixture of dark chocolates, molasses and peanuts is just right, in my opinion.
