Quikoin Original Oval Sof-Touch Squeeze Coin Purse Made in USA

Got this for my husband because he had been wanting to find one. He loves it.

I bought two types of coin purse - Gjinxi (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DPHWYB35, rating: 4.4) and Quikoin (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IFYWT38, rating: 4.6) - thinking that the ratings are so close, how different could they be? A LOT, it turns out. I took a 40-second video to illustrate the differences. As you can see in the video, the Quikoin has a little stronger chain, connected inside the purse, rather than outside. (Obviously, putting the connecting link inside or outside can easily be changed, on either purse.) Connecting on the outside makes it quicker to open the chain to attach to something, but connecting on the inside means that the attachment is protected, less likely to come apart. Normally I would consider that a wash, but the fact that, whoever assembled the Quikoin I received, went to the extra effort to put the attachment inside, suggests a little extra care. The more important consideration is simply how well it works, and in this regard the Quikoin works MUCH better than the Gjinxi: A little squeeze quickly opens the soft vinyl Quikoin, which then closes securely. The stiffer PVC Gjinxi not only is a bit harder to squeeze, but when squeezed requires a second hand to pull it outward to open! [It is ironic that I chose the Gjinxi from among many others of its type precisely because it was described as "Soft and Durable", and one reviewer said, "Better than competing - Others are too stiff and hard to use". I can only imagine how bad those others must be!] That need for a second hand is slightly annoying the first time - but imagine how much time you will waste doing that a thousand times? The whole point of little things like a coin purse is to make life easier, not more annoying. On this count, the Quikoin wins emphatically, while others fail, just as emphatically. The Quikoin - which happens to be the original coin purse of this type, made in USA since 1946 - is worth its price premium (though I do wish they were sold in multiples, to reduce the price-per-purse, rather than just singly). Finally: It is nice that these come in a translucent vinyl rather than opaque PVC: Even before the purse is open you can see what is available. This is simply a win in every functional consideration.

Good product. I use them for storing change. I keep one in my pocket. It is loads better than loose change in your pocket. Love the fact they are made in the USA.

Coin purse. This comes in handy to attach to kids back pack for school. I would add change to it so she could get snacks.

I am old school, and still carry some cash, including coins. However, loose coins often wear holes in the pockets, and are hard to retrieve when rolling around loose in the pocket. Having one of these flexible pouches to carry the loose change keeps them from wearing a hole in my clothes, and also keeps the coins in one place, when I need to pay for something. It avoids me having to dig through whatever else I may be carrying in my pocket that day to find a few quarters, nickels or pennies to make change. I have had one of these since I was a teenager. This is now my third one, as I wore the others out over the decades, or the prior ones got stiff and brittle with age. This one seems a bit more flexible material than my prior ones, so maybe it will last 40 years, rather than only 20-25 years like my last two.

Great retro coin purse. Very pleased with my purchase. I got teal and red for Christmas goody bags -- vibrant, pretty colors.

What to say? These items used to be found everywhere, at the corner drug store, gas stations, K-mart, and other places. But for some reason it has become harder to find them and I'm not sure why other than the fact that most people seem to whip out a credit card or a debit card instead of actual cash. But for those of us who actually do transactions in cash, nothing makes it more of a pain than having lots of coins in your pocket. This coin holder gives a place to keep all those errant coins and keeps them from making holes in your pockets. I loved mine so much that I bought another one (a different color) to use for just quarters. This American made product works well and is fairly inexpensive if you buy the three pack. Highly recommended.

When in Europe use of WC's many times required paying a half or full euro in euro coins. Having a supply in my pocket without worrying that the coins slip out of my pockets is a good deal. Coin purse is easy to use and is similar to those when I was much younger.
