Default Coin box

Has anyone found a coin box or a convenient bin/location to store coins? I think that cupholder under the left -side driver's A/C vent should've been a box!

I wish there was one too, especially for tollways and parking meters. I guess you could keep them in the door handle area, but I can't see myself storing coins in the door handle of a $40K vehicle for everyone else to see (thats something a Kia owner would do )

ha! I use the door handle for my cellphone - sometimes I'll use the "pop-out" cup holder for my cellphone and put coins in the door handle - but I agree it's awkward

I think that you should have specified that you're talking about the RX330, since this is a joint RX300/RX300 forum. The RX300 has a good spot for coins

I have coins in the door handle. I HATE IT. It's very getto, but I don't have a better place yet.

Wonder if there's any way to import the coin holder from Japan? Some of the other options look nice also.

In the 300-03 the coin holder is a small rattly (on my car anyway) plastic cup. It squeaks from the hinge . . . hmmm, frustrating on such an expensive car. I want to rip it out but won't have a place for my coins!

I got my Black on black RX330 today and that's the first thing i noticed no coin holders?!
i use to put coins in the ash tray on my IS200. But now I just use those small Cathay Pacific over night bags they hand out to store my coins.
