Dumb question....

I know this may be a dumb question...
But why did they build only 3 slots for the coin holder and not 4?

I know the nickels fit in the Quarters slot...but cmon...couldn't they have just added a 4th????

Quarters, nickels, dimes...............no one uses pennies to pay tolls.

Actually, I had to once. I didnt know there was a toll coming up and all of us had a pocketful of pennies once we got there. You can keep throwing pennies in and it will count them up and then let you go once you reach the total amount.

But, that coin holder isnt for tolls, its for spare change. Im always searching for pennies since I like giving exact change when I use cash (which is hardly ever)

All of the automatic tollbooths here in Chicago take pennies...but the toll is double that of an I-Pass. So it just makes sense if you travel the tollway on a daily basis to have one.

Yeah, but what do you do with the pennies you get at the drive-thru. Sometimes, I just feel like throwing them out the window. Besides, if you're using the coin holder for tolls, you probably don't need nickels, and the holder can't possibly hold enough quarters to be useful anyway. Truthfully, the coin holder reminds me of the cheesy features of a GM or Dodge. I'd rather have a felt-lined coin bin like all Hondas used to have. How about left of the steering wheel above the trunk switch.

And while they're at it, how about a better sunglass holder in the door pocket. The idea is fine with me, but the execution is poor.
