Token/Coin Dispenser and Storage Container

thingiverse

Ever get stuck with a handful of tokens or coins at the car wash or other place after buying a few bucks' worth and end up with some left over? Try using a Token/Coin Storage and Dispenser for easy retrieval on your next visit. These storage devices were designed specifically to hold standard U.S. car wash tokens, which are roughly 1.6mm thick and 25mm in diameter, but they also work great for the standard U.S. Quarter with just a bit of sanding on the slot. Please share what else you've found these dispensers work well for. The Short Dispenser body can hold over 20 tokens, while the Long version holds about 40. To build the Long dispenser, print three Spacers and glue two of them back to back using the center hole as a guide. This creates the center Spacer. One important note: you'll need a metal spring for this project. After searching far and wide for an affordable and readily available spring, I settled on this one from Ace Hardware: https://www.acehardware.com/departments/hardware/specialty-hardware/springs/5214614, which offers free shipping to a local store. I also found a better spring on Amazon, but unfortunately it's no longer available. Feel free to share any alternatives you come across in the future.
