Coinfold - Free model

**papersmithforge** · #1 05-09-2012, 06:47 PM

Less so a model and moreso an... accessory? To sum it up it's essentially a wallet designed specifically to hold 10 coins. 3 quarters, 2 nickels, 1 dime, and 4 pennies. This way you always have exact change available for any amount ranging from $0.01 to $0.99. It was inspired by an instructables project I came across.

It's the simplest of the three models I've put up on my site. The assembly instructions are only one sheet in fact (due to simplicity of the model).

I haven't yet taken photos of the completed model (I'm currently using it in my wallet), but I'll update the thread once I have. Same layout and structure as my Razorbank model. This is a free model as well so feel free to request one.

Here are photos of the prototype, it's a bit worn from actual use in my wallet. It's held up nicely though. The only difference with the finished model is that the "hinge" sheet is on the exterior on the prototype, while on the finished model it's on the inside.

Would it be hard to add a version for Euro's or other nations coins?

Dear PaperSmith:
Just sent you an E-mail to try this project looks like a good way to practice cutting circles.
Thanks
MILES
Note You could have quite a series to do world coins!

Pennies have been eliminated in Canada,
so mine would have four empty holes!

Now that would be ideal for bus riders, of course, a lot of the ones that get on my bus probably wouldn't be able to find that either.

@legion: I only made it for us currency as that's where I live. I want to say that I could, but I supposed it would depend on the particular country. I have no way of actually testing a prototype as I wouldn't have coins from that nation, and perhaps some of the coins are too large to fit properly, or the currency doesn't divide well to produce exact change.

@Miles: I'll get that to you just as soon as I can.

@airdave: Does Canadian currency share the same dimensional properties as American currency?

@whulsey: Why's that?

Mig, buses require exact change for bus fare.

lol thx Curt, but I meant moreso why wouldn't the folks he rides with be able to find the coinfold?

I think he was just commenting that they can never find their change, so they'd probably lose the coinfold too.

Just emailed you for a copy. I'd like to try this out my own self.
