How many people actually use the little coin pocket in their jeans?

In My Humble Opinion
1

I’ve noticed that I never use the coin pocket on my jeans. I mean, it’s there, and it gives an asymmetrical look to the front of jeans (since I haven’t seen a pair of jeans with a coin pocket on both sides), but…

I once made a conscious choice to use it, and as soon as I took the coins out to use some, I put them back into the larger pocket. It just seems inconvenient; ironic, since I suppose that the coin pocket was made to be convenient.

But I don’t use it. Coins just go in either side pocket, and that’s the way I like it. What about you?

I use it, but not for coins.

3

Can’t stand putting coins in it because they tend to get lost, and it isn’t big enough for all my change. I tend to use it for my chapstick, though, or tablets to take whilst away from home.

4

I never use it for anything, unless something worms its way into it.

5

I use it for coins, but I think it was originally for a pocket-watch.

6

I like to use it for a single key.

7

I thought it was a watch pocket, too.

8

I’ve slipped my wedding ring into it - my fingers sometimes swell up and I have to take my ring off. I’d forgotten I’d done that once, and the ring stayed there thru a washer and dryer cycle.

9

As has been pointed out, it’s a watch pocket, not a coin pocket.

I keep my pocket knife in it.

10

It’s actually just about perfect for holding a Zippo lighter.

If you don’t smoke this isn’t going to help you much.

11

Exgineer, a book of matches will fit nicely too.

12

I have a minature ferret that I keep there. If I put it in the other pocket, it gnaws on my balls. I keep golf balls in my other pocketses (my precious)
Actually, my smallish pocket knife.

13

A can of snuff fits perfectly, too.

14

I use it for my pocketwatch when I go packetwatch instead of wristwatch. Other than that, usually empty.

15

At times you can find a pocket watch, change, or any numerous small childrens’ toys.

16

It is perfect for holding my pocket knife. In fact, I have to downsize to a penknife when I wear dress pants because I hate it flopping around in my pocket.

Okay, I got “coin pocket” from looking through clothing catalogues that say “5 pocket (includes coin pocket)”, so don’t kill me! :slight_smile:

The chapstick idea is good, because I always have a tube of Burt’s Bees in my pocket… and I occasionally (when I remember to bring it with me) use it to clip my pocket knife into.

Okay, maybe I’ll actually use it now!

Now I’m going to have to see if I can get my Zippo, my pocketknife and a book of matches in there all at the same time.

19

Isn’t it called a fob pocket? Seems like I heard that one time.

Anyway, I use mine to hold my wedding band when I go to Hooters. Perfect size for that…

Guitar picks, sometimes my Zippo if I’ve just filled it and want it to stay upright so I don’t get a fluid burn (damn that hurts!).
