the coin holder at the top front of the drivers storage box, to the right of the steering wheel.  are there any coins that fit it? is there a simple mod to make pound coins fit? presumably it was designed for pfennigs.

Mine holds all the memory cards for my MP3 player, never got a coin to stay in there!

I find 1, 2, 5, 50ps fit. (this is handy as I rarely spend more ) Pound coins roll around underneath and on top of the wad of tissues I keep in there, and of course spring out everywhere when I go to grab a tissue 

I've thought of chopping into it to make some bigger slots, too. Often it's the way that something goes out of use/fashion, but then around the corner there's a new idea or use for it. We've got an oak record cabinet, which has partitions just a fraction wider than a CD holder, so it's got a new use. (plus our old vinyl) I like the sound of the SD holder!

are you using standard SD cards?  i tried that but they stick up too much and stop the unit closing fully.  perhaps you are using microsd cards but i tried those and they are so small they disappear into the slots.

I use RS-MMC cards  They are getting quite rare to find now though

I used to keep a paper clip in there in my MFL

I found a old key in mine, God knows what it fitted, nothing on the car anyway.

ah that explains it.  sd cards are bigger.

i will try modding mine to hold pound coins.  a blow torch, pound coin and pair of pliers should do the trick

In the lid of the drivers side storage box under the headlight switch.

see OP "the coin holder at the top front of the drivers storage box, to the right of the steering wheel."

right that's sorted - until we join the euro i now have a working coin holder.   mole grips holding the edge of a pound coin, heat the coin with a blow torch, not too hot, and shove it into each existing slot.  trim the melted edges with a sharp knife.  now it firmly holds pound coins.  for 50ps and 20p you might want to use them instead.  the coin cleans up easily so no cost there.

I'm with Sir Tigger and MrOmegaman on this one I didn't even know there's a coin holder either
