    Do you guys have an 05? On my 06, there is a about a 3" x 1" x 1.5" (depth) compartment in the side of the drivers door that is perfect for change. It is where the cloth material where the door controls are.

    You don't have this?

    Is that the hole where you pull the door shut?

    I bought my Prius in the Southeast region, so I got the "ashtray" that fits in the cup-holder. Put my change in that and store it in the driver's door pocket (just fits).

    I guess I never looked at it that way, but yes. My main use of it is for my change, but I guess I also use it to close the door. Looking at how it is made, I'm sure Toyota had a dual use for it as well. It works great for change.

    My wife had given me a credit card sized ice scraper that I put in there. However, it kept falling out when I shut the door, so now it's back to it's original use.

    I keep change in a 35 mm film cannister as well. It's the perfect size for our Canadian $2 coins and smaller denominations. The cannister sits on that little pocket/slot at the front of the center armrest console. What would that slot be there for? Looks like it would hold a cigarette package. The console is the perfect fit for a certain size box of kleenex, which sits ahead of the removable tray.

    That's where Toyota put my stack of Valet cards and that's where a small coin purse would fit very well.

    I bough the JDM Center Console Tray and plan to put all my change in there. I haven't received it yet so I'm keeping it in the cup holder for the time being.

    I keep an absolute TON of change in the 2nd cupholder. I cut down a plastic cup to hold the change, and put it there. I use the front cupholder for my drinks. If I need the second holder, I pull my 'change cup'. I don't usually need the second holder, and I can fit a fistful of change (or two) in there in the meantime... :)

    Thanks bigdaddy for a great idea! I only like to have quarters in the car, so they'll fit perfectly in the little film canister. Now I just need to decide which compartment to store it in?

    Don't keep spare change in my car. It weighs it down and impacts the gas mileage :) I use the little square thingy inside center console, under my right arm for CDs, garage door opener and Altoids.
