A prescription-pill plastic bottle is a perfect container for storing quarters. After your pills are gone, clean out the tube, dry it, and drop in your quarters. If it has a child-proof lid, all the better if there are little ones in your household.
If you drive in an area where there are toll booths, keeping your quarters (or other change) in prescription bottles is a great way to keep them handy so you don't have to search around for change. Don't open the bottle until you're stopped, though!

Great tips guys, we don't have toll booths but it's still a good way to separate the quarters from the other change. I didn't know about the battery thing either so that's really good to know. Thanks!
Good tip, Pam. Searching for quarters can really take its toll on drivers.
Ooooooo, that's so bad it's good!

Pam that is a great idea..but that idea had some flaw in DH's case...he used to keep coins in these prescription bottles,but we never removed the labels ,so he had a collection of different type of containers,some were his,another one from my son and before we knew he had a collection of them in the car. One day police was doing random spot checks and inspected the cars,including his. Police noticed the pill bottles and questioned him if he is on medication and under influence. He looked at them in disbelieve and said "of course not". The policeman asked him for ID and to step out of the car..Eventually all was cleared up and DH was free to drive on. One advice the policeman gave him..removing the name labels and show the officer right away that there are coins in the bottles instead of wasting his time
Thanks for the reminder, Almrausch. I remove the label as soon as I finish a prescription so that I don't mix up the bottle with anything else.
