Hey...now that you mention it, I remember seeing those cards in the Prius models on the lot, but my new TCH didn't come with any of those cards as far as I can tell. Did your TCH come with them?

You're still talking about your car, right?

Really though, I think something has to fit in there because the dimensions are so small.

Not sure. My Prius definitely came with a pad of them.

LOL...Now that's funny. I guess I should have rephrased that...

Oh and yes I was talking about the car...I think

Nice observation, Kris. Never noticed it before. I now use it to put my travel folding cash (for tolls, parking, etc.). I used to have it in the little slide-out to the left of the steering wheel with my coins, but I like this new spot better.

Pretty strange isn't it? A couple of folded ones is a good idea though.

Re: wish Toyota had come up with a better coin holder

Toyota does have an aftermarket tray with coin holder that I use and like. There is a picture of it at http://www.newtoyotaparts.com/product/?id=2164

What a cool piece, nice find...but the price is bloated.

Any more pictures of it in your car? Was it worth it?

Interesting! It looks like this is tray that sits in the top of the console. Am I correct? Is it deeper than the tray that came with the car?
Would it be possible to take a photo of it outside of the console...please!


You know...After buying this, I won't have any change to put in it!

That coin tray reminds me of the tray that came inside the center console on my previous Toyota...a '99 RAV4. The coins rattled noisily, to the point where I glued a chunk of foam rubber into the lid...the foam rubber held the coins down when the lid was closed. Kinda ugly when the lid was open, but it did the job. Do the coins make a lot of noise in that holder?
