Hello, don't you ever get frustrated when you have to organize all the coins with your hands? Well this is your instructable.

This is my first instructables so I want to make as easy for you to see and make it. So I hope you enjoy. You can do it in different coins or even you can do it with cash. Its up to you.

In order for this to work, you need a smaller cardboard. Its fine if you don't have any.

If you are gonna use a extra cardboard, you must measure how tall it is. Grab a cardboard and fold it hotdog side and then tape it together. Later, cut it in half. Do it again with 2 more paper. When you cut it, tape the end where you cut it.

Continue to the next step if complete

Place the Paper or Cardboard in the Extra Cardboard

For this next step, you must have a 5 papers that was split in half. If possible, place 5 paper inside the extra cardboard and try to make the paper even. If you can't do it, you can do it with cardboard. Measure how tall and how wide it is and measure what is a perfect space to place it. For this, I use cardboard because it's more easier. Once you got the perfect area that you wanted, tape it or glue it. Be careful from the bottom because there will be a small hole and you go to patch that hold so it doesn't go to the other area.

Block the Dispense

After your with the extra cardboard, make 2 16cm x 5cm cardboard. After you cut it, glue it or tape it. Then, fold it to fit in the cardboard. Make a hole like I did. Lastly hang the blocker so if you want to take the coins out, you can use that.

Continue to the next step if your done

Measure the Coin

First, before we begin, we must know how tall to cut it. I might measure it wrong but just in case, you can measure it yourself. I got 2cm for a penny, 2cm for a dime, 2 2/10cm for a nickel, 2 5/10cm for a quarter, 2 7/10cm for a $1 coin, and 3cm for a $0.50 coin.

Continue to the next step if done if this step.

Cut the Holes

For this step, you can cut the holes. Make sure you have your extra cardboard in the original cardboard so you know where to put the hole in the pocket. If have some extra lines on top. Like my picture shown on top. Just cut it off. It's your choice if you want to cut the hole on the top or on the side of the box. I recommend doing on the top but its your choice.
