Back many years ago, maybe before your time, pay phones only cost a dime to make a call. If someone wanted to call the police and report a criminal they would use a pay phone so no one would know who called thus the old phrase 'Drop a dime"

It is slang for ratting a person out. It cost a dime to call the police.
