loose change
I move my coin holder to the designated door spot and everything fits perfectly... except for the coins
everytime i'd open or close my door, the coins can't seem to stay in the slots and fly off and fall into the bottom of the compartment.
i am thinking of writing to the u.s. mint and ask them to make the coins to fit the acura tl's coin holder better

Imo the door pocket is the worst place to put the coin holder, the coins always fall out and it also produces an annoying rattle for me. Much easier to keep it in the center console.
...the coin hoder works much better in the armrest slot IMO

there is no doubt the coin holder performs 300% times better in its center console location; however i find the motion of reaching in there for the coins unnatural, along with the extra steps of sliding the armrest back and lifting it.
that's why i so excited to find that i have the flexibility of putting the coin holder in the door slot, so that i can smoothly retreive my coins in a one arm, one motion operation.

Uhhm, yeah, except for that whole coins falling out and rattling around inside the door pocket thing.
How's that working out for you?

doesn't seem to work, i am the gentlist door closer i know... if you breath on it, the coins seem to just jump out of the holder
is this not bothersome enough that someone has thought of a solution?!? granted, i, myself, am too lazy to think of one and rather i am here hoping someone else already has

I think OP is using the coinholder placed in the door compartment, but the coins slide/pop out of the coinholder.

I gave up on it anywhere in the car. It's shite. I use a zip-loc sandwich bag for coins and stow it in the center armrest lower compartment. Since I don't need coins frequently it's fine. Holds all my quarters for the coin-op sprayer in the winter months.

I've given up on it as well, i have some coins floating about on the bottom of the door compartment, and a few still hanging on in the coin holder

Plastic rectangle with 3 spring-loaded columns for coin storage which slots into the front of the small top armrest compartment or towards the rear of either front door map pocket.
OP tweeder: you may just need a new coin holder-- less than $10, IIRC.

Uhmmm, I think Will means your coin holder might be shot or defective. A new one might work better.
Most of the other stuff was in good fun. No offense intended.
