What to do with loose change

[2SeeKU]

I built a little cover for the center console which lets me still use the cup holders (I hate the door cup holders). This is where l store my change and you can't hear it knocking around.

I stopped using cash ~10 years ago.

In your pocket or throw it at peelers on a Friday night?

Even in the forward position, the cup holder is difficult for me to access... I'm 5'4", so my seat is so far forward there's no hope of reaching a cup if the holder is in the rearward position. LOL.

I'm your opposite, 6'1" and my seat is Jammed into the rear seats, and I still have trouble reaching the front holder in the front position. I'd use the door cupholder but my long a$$ legs and the tiny cockpit of this car don't really jive too well for maneuvering around.

Loose change never rattles in my cupholder tho. I guess I don't drive hard enough.

It's more about the quality of the roads... terrible around here. We had the worst winter since 1978 and you can see it in the roads... and hear it in the change.

Ahhh yes. Good old up north roads. Heard about em, never driven on them.

Got a buddy with family in Hopkinsville so I heard all about the horrific winter y'all just endured.

For the change why not find one of those old drop in cupholders at like an autozone(like what you'd put in the floorboard of an old truck) and get that spring loaded change pocket off of it? It held Quarters, Nickels and Dimes. Sometimes they were actually a separate piece that just sorta locked down on the cup holder assembly.

Kinda like this. Maybe mount it towards the back of your center console.
Just a thought.

Odd that a guy with "Moose" in his name has never been north... LOL.

Gaming name. Playstation.
Heard a lesbian call a fatter lesbian's who-ha a mooseknucle instead of a cameltoe..... Laughed so hard I couldn't breathe for a full 20 minutes. Nearly died actually.

I don't allow food or drink in my precious...Why on earth would I have loose, nasty, filthy, dirty coins fouling up my beauty?!

Besides, I'm in NJ and we have the EZPass system for tolls.


...Not to mention, loose change in the car is asking for trouble from people that don't give a crap about busting a car window to get at small change.

Most of my driving is in West Virginia and SE Ohio. We barely have electricity.

I keep a small collection of old coins for sentimental reasons.
They're much like the Underwood typewriter and the Canon A1 SLR film camera I have sitting around.
They look cool, but I don't really use them.
And I certainly see no reason to lug them around in my car.
