John D. Rockefeller was known for giving people he met a dime. It's difficult to see this as an incentive.

In terms of today, a dime from 1872 when Rockefeller founded Standard Oil would be worth the equivalent of $26.55 today, and a dime from 1936, the year before he died, would be worth the equivalent of $2.35 today.  That might change your perspective a little.
