Where do you put your change?

[CaseyWhitcher]

Hey all,

I'm running into this issue. I don't know where to put change, there is a little slot right in front of the shifter, but if I take a corner it slides around and possibly out. I have been putting mine in the front cup holder.

I guess I'm just going to get a toll tag so I don't have to worry about it so much, but I always like having a place to throw change?

I'm not ready to go back to the Hyundai yet though http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

I generally hold on to mine until I see a Jeep driving around. I then lauch toward it's windshield.

[dochummer]

I give it to my 3yo, he takes it home and puts it in his piggy bank. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

i bought a small mesh bag from the container store and keep mine in that inside the center console.

[JamesT]

Or...send it to me! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

I keep mine in the ashtray in the first cup holder since I don't smoke.

[KenP]

I keep it in my pocket until I get to the store. Then I spend it.

Check your glove box. It fits into one of the cup holders.

There's this thing,--Behind the shifter--that opens up--The console! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif Last time I emptied mine, scored twenty plus bucks! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

The ashtray is a $15 option. It fits into one of the cupholders in the center console. Mine had it but it now resides on a shelf in my garage.

Now, in regard to the change holder, my suburban had and my wifes LeSabre has a change holder in them that mounts onto two posts that are attached inside the console on drivers side. My H2 has those same two posts inside the console and my guess is there is a coin holder made that will fit it. Maybe one of the experts here knows more.

I towed mine in a trailer.

[Goalkeeper]

I just dump mine into the cavernous center console - which sucks when you need it b/c I have to dig around all the other junk that seems to reside, and multiply, there.

But, when I empty it out, I usually end up with $ 20 - $30!

I tried to use the ashstray and keep that in the center console, but it gets full too quickly.

[SoonerBoarder]

I put mine in the little compartment in the glove box. The one on the left when you open it.

[HummerNewbie]

I never use cash so I have no idea what change is, can somebody please explain http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Inside your center console on the left hand side near the top there is a coin holder. Or there should be, I don't know if the SUT retained the type of center console. Anyway it's a plastic piece with places for quarters, nickels, dimes each slot has a spring loaded keeper so to keep the top most coin in each column handy. At least it is here on my 04 SUV. It's worth looking into or for. If the coin holder is missing and there are 3 plastic slots or fins near the top of the center consol when you lift the lid that is what went there. Your dealer can probably get you a replacement.

I got one of those spring-type holders, the one with the 3 spring loaded stacks; for dimes, quarters, and nickels. Then I put some velcro (the "hooks" and "loops" tape) on the underside, with the matching side on an area of my dash.

The area I selected is just to the right of the center console. So the coin holder is there, and convenient, and if I have to remove it - to remove from sight, or just to take it to the money swilling meter, I can just pull it off. Then stick it back when I want.

I have the same type of dispenser, but mine came out of a 1999 Tahoe console, it fits it the H2 console like a factory option. Interestingly enough the console was designed to accept something like this because it has 2 splines to accept it. I'm sure they were meant for something else but they work pretty good for this. I did have to put a wedge behind it for a tight fit though.

[h2co-pilot]

I take my pocket change at the end of the day and drop it in a jar. I put away about $1 a day, that's just $7 a week. At the end of the month, I'll have about $30.
Since this is money in my pocket, I've already paid taxes on it in the form of withholding from a paycheck. (If you're self-employed, that's not true, but we'll ignore that to keep things simple.) Every month, I deposit my savings in a Roth IRA account, where it can grow tax-free and - more importantly- it can be withdrawn tax-free in the future.


Growing tax-free for 30 years, with a 10% annual return, my investment account will be worth $67,815. (Stocks overall have returned an average of more than 10% a year since 1926, so buying a broad-based stock index fund the Vanguard Total Market Index Fund (VTSMX) is the easiest way to capture that kind of growth.)

I have a similar strategy. Mine ends up on the floorboard. My daughter collects it from there to store in her talking bank that tallies and let's you know how close you are to your set goal.

Upon reaching the set goal, she then takes the money out, rolls the coins, we take her to the bank where she exchanges the rolled coins for bills and she goes and buys crap like Barbie's Pegasus Styling Head.

[Fastest H-Town Realtor]

I talked the saleslady to snag a coinbox out of the Escalade. It fits right inside the center console mounting tabs.

[blksunblkmoon]

Like a few others have done, I grabbed my coin holder out of my 99 tahoe (about a $20 part from the dealer).

It fits on the splines inside the console on the left side.

I also used some velcro for reinforcement and works like a charm.

Seriously, did anyone actually believe that I do that? I'm not old enough for a Roth IRA anyway, I don't think. I don't get a paycheck, and all my change goes to the bottom of my purses. Then I dump it into the valet on the counter when I switch them. I do have a pretty good sum in a retirement acct., of my own earnings and profit sharing from previous employment, invested in a mutual fund (UBS) so GFYs. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
