OT: A pocket coinholder

[OmnivoreInk]

Many years ago, I picked up a pocket coinholder. Coin carrier - I'm not sure of the correct term.

I think I may have gotten it through Sharper Image, but actually I'm not sure where I got it.

But I loved it. It was a small black plastic square, with four spring-loaded columns so you could stack a certan number of quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies in each column.

It either broke or I lost it, and I've been searching for something similar ever since, but have been unable to find it.

Anyone know what I'm talking about, and where I could get one?

If not...someone do some reverse engineering and build one - properly marketed I'm sure it could take off!

Hi Barbara,

It's a "coin dispenser".

You can buy one here http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dl ... +dispenser

Hi, Kevin...

You're a gem!

I ordered it and recieved it a few days ago - a "Coinboy."

Not of the same quality as the one I had a few years ago (quality always goes down, doesn't it?) The spring-load things are plastic instead of metal, as the old one I had was...

But it's nice, and I like it!

No problem Barbara, glad I could help!
