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!

This is an excellent way to test those "child resistant" caps. Those quarters don't stand a chance against kids. Those little mini-M&M's bottles are perfect for quarters.
This is the first time I saw something common between the pharmaceutical companies and toll booths………………………. Both take your money and give you very little in return! Or ~ I get sick of paying tolls and the pharmaceuticals try and make it better? …………….. anyway it’s a great tip Pam. Thanks
Great tip Pam. Yes I've used them for quarters, the smaller ones for dimes too. I'm saving the extra large ones for when I hit the big lotto jackpot, they're the right size for those big bills...
Good for storing one 9 volt battery. This way the 9 volt battery won't short out against those paper clips laying around in the junk drawer and cause a fire.

I do have containers for small change and also one for pound coins and other larger denomination coins in order to keep stocking up the cars with pouches of money for parking.
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
