Default Where to put change?

If there is a small but justified gripe about the F, it is that we don't have anywhere to store loose change. Right now I put coins in the cup holder, and surprising it doesn't rattle if the cover is on. However, it's annoying when I need to actually need to use it for a cup. Any solutions? What do you guys do? I suppose the ISX50 share the same problem?

I have about $4.50 under my drivers seat. I have same issue. And it always slips outta my pocket while driving.

I actually took my old "jdm" felt lined ashtray from my is300 and have it in the center console now.

I usually put a few buck (paper bills) in the arm rest compartment. As far as loose change, I would only need that for paying the parking meter but now I have a prepaid meter card so no more loose change!

the ashtray seemed a bit too small a space to fit too many coins, especially with my large fingers trying to get change right away. plus the silver piece tends to get rather hot from the sun, and fingers have been shocked with pain and heat simultaneously...never again. ive pretty much leave it in the glove compartment. bonus, when one has a friend driving it or valet, they cant steal your money because you can always lock your glove compartment, presuming you keep the actual key with you, as you should. the ashtray and even the center console seem like easy pickings for grabby fingers, and neither have a lock, so its free access to whoever can slide them open.

Thanks for the responses.. yea I tried using the ashtray, but like bnizzle87 said, it's pretty small to put change in, and it's hard to get it out.

Lol@ putting it in the glove compartment so people can't steal it.. do you have THAT much loose change? ha ha I suppose I'll just have to buy a separate coin holder and just put it inside the center armrest.

I just keep the change in the little pocket of my jeans or my pockets when I wear slacks and dig it out when I need to. I try to get rid of change as much of possible so it's not too much of an issue for me.
