  • Patent number: 5855308
    Abstract: A coin holder for motor vehicles has a housing which can be inserted into a control panel and a receptacle element for a plurality of coins. The receptacle element is rotatable by a rotation bearing about a horizontal axis of rotation out of the housing of the coin holder from a storage position to a removal position. So that the receptacle element in the removal position can yield resiliently if it is touched unintentionally or if the middle armrest is lowered onto it, the receptacle element is arranged in the housing to be additionally resiliently displaceable linearly.
