well you should have gotten a change holder / coin holder in the UPPER armrest storage compartment. ( you do know you have two seperate compartments under the armrest) This coin holder is actually removable as well.

And there are also slots in the door pocket, towards the front of the inside of the pocket, where you can put the coin holder.

One on the right for me
with the drivers door slot i sometimes notice that when the door slams the quarters and other change in there will fall into the pocket...kind of annoying but not a big deal.

You're in luck! One of the easiest mods on the TL is converting the OEM Optional Ashtray to an OEM Optional Coinholder. Here's the Ashtray:
Modification Instructions as follows:
It's a little complex, so if you're having difficulty, just ask someone who works at a body shop:
1. Slide the door over the cupholders to the full and open position.
2. Confirm that there is no optional factory TL ashtray installed.
3. Close the door.
4. Put the key in the ignition.
5. Start the car.
6. Wait for the navi to display the "ok" button (it's grey with the symbol "OK" on it).
7. Hit the "ok" button (see above for "ok" button detail).
8. Depress the 'voice' button on the steering wheel.
9. Speak the phrase "find nearest Acura dealer".
10. Listen to the navi's directions and drive to the nearest Acura dealer. Depress the accellerator and/or brake as necessary.
11. Once you arrive at the nearest Acura dealer, put the car in park.
12. Turn off the ignition.
13. Exit the vehicle and close the door.
14. Walk to the door of the Acura parts department and open it.
15. Close the door.
16. Ask the attractive blonde with the heaving cleavage for the parts manager.
17. Ask the unattractive bald guy that you want the optional factory ashtray for the TL.
18. When he looks confused, tell him "yes, I know it says Honda Insight on the side of the box, but I want it anyway."
19. Remove your credit card from your wallet, signature side up.
20. Allow the bald guy to hand the heaving blonde the Honda Insight ashtray box.
21. Pay the heaving blonde $20 plus tax, and say 'thank you'.
22. Ask the bald guy if you can borrow a pair of pliers.
23. Use the pliers to remove the piece of tin that's inside the optional factory TL ashtray. This piece of tin is a cigarrette holder; since you don't smoke, you don't need it in there.
24. Now that the tin is out, there is room for your coins/tokens.
25. You now have modded the optional factory TL ashtray into an optional factory TL coin/token holder.

I keep dimes, nickles, and pennies in the change holder inside the center arm rest, and throw all the quaters in to the storage compartment where the cigrette lighter is.

If the above is to difficult or to expensive try this. Find someone that still has a 35MM camera. Get the little plastic tube the film came in. Fill to your hearts delight then place in top section of armrest, problem solved.

Keep Right Except to Pass
I got an E-ZPass and don't worry about change. Usually whatever change I have stays in my pocket until I get home and throw it in the coin-rolling machine.

Coin holder - in door pocket.

Coin holder in door for anything not copper...pennies get tossed out the window. Why do they still make pennies anyway?? With the value of a dollar today, everything should be rounded to the nearest nickel anyway.

If you install the dispenser in the door slot and fill it to the max for each size coin, it actually offsets the weight in the door hinge so that the door doesn't "attack".
Try it. It really works.

hmm... almost sounds like some sort of prank to get people to go out and get their left leg hit by the door... "try it. it really works." has a very mischievious ring to it. haha.
