Has anyone figured out a clever or at least workable place to store coins in a Prius II?

David

Maybe not too clever, but you could use the coin tray in the console. You can also keep your cell phone, house keys and other stuff in it :-)

Do you mean that center downward opening mini-shelf where I keep my EZPass and garage door opener?

David

How about the hidden pull out tray in the center console; it's a great hiding spot!

My wife's purse?

(Actually a trick question . . . she finds all of the money.)

Coins? What coins? I use a credit card! +G

EZPass adoption has gotten so high in NJ that there are long lines on the EZPass-only lanes while the exact change lanes are empty.

I want the coins handy so I have the alternative. But I don't want a sloppy mess of coins in my new car!

David

My wife gave me a small tupperware cup to put in the center console, where I drop all my change. This works, sort of, at least the change is not floating around in there, but it is always under something else.

It's silly but at home, I always kept my coins in the top of something, like an Altoids tin or the top to one of those Barrel of Monkeys games. Once I bought my Prius I just picked up my little Barrel of Monkeys top filled with coins, and put it in the armwrest - it fits snugly in there, it's just the right fit to avoid sliding around. Holds a ton of coins there too, and if I need the coins to leave the car - picks right up and comes with me. Of course it looks funny with me carrying around a bright green top to a child's game, but no one needs to know that's where it came from.

I have done the same thing and it works but it is not really convenient.
