Abstract
A coin holder can hold coins for use in making a telephone call or paying a toll or fare. The coin holder can be attached to any item in any suitable manner, and is quite suitable for attachment to an electronic pager on which individuals are often summoned to make phone calls. The coin holder has an interior and a cover which conceals the coin or coins held in the coin holder. The coin holder can be a piece which is attachable to any item or can be an integral part of the item itself, such as in the instance of an electronic pager, where the housing for the pager can form the interior of the coin holder and a releasably securable cover can be provided to cover that interior and conceal the coin or coins held therein. The housing surface may or may not be altered to accommodate the coin or coins. Where it is not altered, the coin or coins can simply be held against the housing surface. A latching mechanism may include an undercut and a boss member.
