ABSTRACT:
A container and dispenser of coins for toll booths comprising an enclosed rectangular box preferably made of resilient plastic having a left half and right half, wherein a plurality of pockets in the left half open to the top and extend to a floor at the bottom of the left half, and wherein a plurality of pockets in the right half open to the bottom and extend to a floor at the top of the right half. The pockets are formed by spaced apart walls leaving enough room in each pocket to provide the exact change for a specified series of toll booths. A slidable cover is provided on the top and bottom of the container to initially close all of the pockets. When the cover slides far enough to fully uncover one pocket, a stop member on the underside of the cover drops into a notch of a guide rail which tends to resist further sliding toward the fully open position and provides a distinctive "click" sound indicating to the user that one pocket has been fully uncovered for dispensing the exact amount of coins for a respective toll booth from such position. Each notch is spaced apart a distance needed to fully open the next adjacent pocket but not so far that coins in the second adjacent pocket fall out.
