Pretty standard, they used to call these toll booth change holders. You know, back before electronic toll tags were a thing and toll roads were cheap.

I keep change and a small pocket knife and fingernail trimmers in there. It doesn’t rattle. If you leave it open it’ll destroy your knee when you get back in the car.

That’s exactly what I did, lined it so it’s quiet. I use it to hold the remote to my entry gate as the unit is just old enough it won’t connect to the HomeLink buttons. Very handy spot for it.

Good spot for my lip balm and a flosser.

I usually get a pretty good stash of receipts in there and then when I wipe down the interior and hit the button, remember it's time to empty the compartment. Then I do it all over again

That's where I keep a $50 bill for emergency cash. Unfortunately, I always forget about it when I trade in a vehicle.

Funny Stoodo. Apparently, you and the previous owner of my ES have something in common. I found $40 in there and haven't had the need to touch it, yet.
