A nickle is 5 cents and a dime is 10 cents (I had to look it up!). That is neither the rate for 14 hours, nor the answer to the question.
Is the right answer. Several respondents contributed to the answer, but I think @martinsh got most of it so I'll invite him to take the floor.

Thank You.
Stay on the song lyrics theme, but switching from monetary matters to Geography.
The song "Willin" by Little Feat contains the lines
"I've been from Tucson to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonopah..."
In which US states are these four places ? [ And as a small clue, they are 4 different states]

Tucson is in Arizona, I think, and was also mentioned by The Beatles (again, I think).

"From Russia With Love" possibly (the Matt Monro song was played over the closing titles, so perhaps there would have been a different theme song at the start of that particular film).

Dr No. (No?)
Thunderball?
On Her Majesty’s Secret Service?
The original Casino Royale?

Octopussy didn't have a matching song, for probably obvious reasons. (Did it have "Nobody does it better" instead? -Edit - no, the above post pre-emptively corrected me on that. )
So not correct, Matt Monro sang Thunderball."From Russia With Love" possibly (the Matt Monro song was played over the closing titles, so perhaps there would have been a different theme song at the start of that particular film).
You have 3 out of 4 correct, Tom Jones sang Thunderball.

One film has an instrumental track as the theme tune. On Her Majesty's Secret Service?

Surely Tom Jones sang the "Thunderball" theme tune?!
(Anecdotally, Jones had a dizzy spell when recording the long, high note, at the end of the song).
Apologises Tom Jones sang Thunderball, cant read my own writing!Surely Tom Jones sang the "Thunderball" theme tune?!

It does but not On Her Majesty's secret service which was Louis Armstrong We have all the time in the World.
The instrumental was on Dr No which has already been guessed.

Think the Louis Armstrong track was the secondary theme on that particular film, and the main (opening titles) theme was indeed an instrumental, composed by John Barry.

Maybe a bit pedantic, but as mentioned Dr. No has the James Bond theme as its title, while OHMSS is instrumental and only used in that film.
From Russia with love is instrumental as its title theme, Matt Munro adds the lyrics at the end.
While Nobody does it better is not the same title as the Spy who Loved me, it does contain the words
"Like heaven above me, the spy who loved me is keeping all my secrets safe tonight"

I understand what you are saying, however the question set was Which Bond films didn't have the film title in the theme song,
Nobody does it Better is the title of the song for The Spy who loved me, yes the film is in the lyrics but its not the song title.
Interestingly Dr No also has the song Three Blind Mice credited but it was known as The Kingston Calypso.

@444045... How many correct answers have we had so far, and how many still remain outstanding?
Sorry not correct, but you're in the right era as an extra clue.
