Where to keep spare change???

This is obviously a very minor issue, but I can't find a good spot in this car to keep loose change. The slotted piece next to the cupholder is a joke (only good to keep a few quarters), and all of the other consoles I've found are way too big to easily grab the change I need at the drive-thru window. There doesn't seem to be that little textured tray or cubby I'd grown so fond of in other vehicles (but perhaps I just haven't found it yet).
Any suggestions or mods people have done in this area?

I use the little slotted things they make in the center console for holding change . The ashtray is for my money clip. That way when I am paying tolls or @ drivethru's, I don't have to reach in my pocket and with the lid shut on ashtray, it's out of sight . Or you could just get a purse like Tiff.....

No, You pull the lap portion of the seat belt towards the windshiled, place right foot on brake, using right foot and shoulders raise hips and rotate 45 degrees to left, deposit change into front right pocket of jeans, reverse procedure.

You may need to follow the above procedure to remove/insert wallet found in rear pocket.

Spend extra change on sodas in vending machines.

I have a bigger problem carrying what they now call "regular" sized sodas. Especially for multiple people.

Usually its my ashtray...but I bring change inside the house everynight...I hate change. I dump it in a cooler jug and 4 times a year I take it to the bank...I usually get $400-600 a year in change.
