    Can someone post a photo of the "coin tray" that is in the rear of the center console?

    Customer says theirs is missing trying to determine what it looks like...

    slip em 20 bucks and call it a day... you put some coin in it, you'll be cussing the first time you flip it over.

    I think the purpose of is to hold a, I-phone thats been plugged in...

    I agree... I would not use it for coins. A platform for a media player or phone is probably its purpose.

    I suppose you have to call it something...and "Coin Tray" works.

    But I have to agree, looking at that, I would think it would be near useless as a real coin holder. Might be good for other applications. But I wouldn't want to keep coins in that shallow of a tray, in that location.

    The Prius was a bit of a maddening vehicle to figure out where to put change. I finally bought one of those cheap foam/elastic aluminum can insulator sleeves, and I keep that in the drivers door side bottle area. It stays hidden there. I can drop coins in it...the foam keeps it quiet, and then every few weeks when it get's full I dump it into my change holder at home.

    I don't think they "came" with cars. It's one of those things you buy after. Kinda like upgrading floor mats to rubber ones.

    I purchased one from Ratuken. The item itself is relatively inexpensive but the shipping cost more than the part. So, now that I have one... eh .

    I had one with my 2010. Came with the car. Wish I would have know, and would have kept mine, they do not come in the 2014 which I just purchased.

    My 2011 Prius II had one. I noticed my 2013 IV did not so the dealer allowed me to keep the one from my 2011 and it fit fine. It drops in, is plastic and no big deal. But it is a convenient spot to keep a few things.

    This seems like a better option, it's called a "prius carmate". You can get it on eBay for $32.
