The dime's for the call home if the patches don't work.

Because they charge you directly for the dime they throw into the
patch kit.

Check out the photos of the patch kit at the Rivendell site and you'll
see...

Well, the photos show that the patches are dime-sized, but why the
dime for customers? To smooth the patch? I use my tire lever.

Yup. Smoothing it out. Figure most of the folks at Rivendell are
strong enough not to need tire levers. When I did my own kit, used a
nickel. Wanted a smooth edge. But there is such a weight penalty.
That reminds me, my non-Rivendell sourced patch kit needs a coin.
Maybe that Fiji 10 cent

Wherever I go it goes (including into the pockets of airport security
guards when I forget I have it - fortunately they're cheap). The edge
and back of the nail file/screwdriver is perfect for smoothing
I always thought the dime was used to rough-up the tube a bit to allow
for greater adhesion. That's how I use it anyway. The dime is the
lightest american coin with a rough edge, thus it gets the call over a
quarter.
