first take the plastic cover out between the heat seaters, then
start pounding the driver side of the middle console where your knee is. this should shake the coins out.

Gabe, I was wondering when u'd run into that problem. A nickel got lodged on the right side of the swivel area so I took out the coin tray (not an easy task) and I put my cellphone speaker in that area, I will post pics when I have the chance.

open the 'not a cointray' as much as you can and
whack the side of the sucker till the coins dislodge. The cointray can take a beating and keep on ticking.
