does anyone makea coind dispenser, something to fasten to handlebars for tolls etc?
 
Just ordered one, normally have the wife on the back when in france but it will be useful for her as she will not have to remove glovers and rummage through her purse for a few coins.

try anything once

when we lived in the toll-road intensive east coast of the US, my wife and I festooned our clutch and choke cables with old-fashioned wooden clothespins
and clamped the coins in them.... works in a pinch (no pun intended)
 
It arrived yesterday. It works great, excellent idea!

Mine too, it's not Snap On quality but then it only cost pennies and it should make it easier to pay tolls on autoroutes without taking off my gloves, worth a punt I'd say :nenau
 
If you know you need to pay a toll before leaving home do what I used to do with Dartford Crossing before it was free for bikes. Put the toll money in a small plastic bag and then put the bag in my jacket pocket with the end hanging out.

When I reached the toll booth just pull out bag and give to attendant. Quick, easy and no need to remove and replace gloves.
 
Ι am planning on using mine in Greece this year.
Athens-Thessaloniki is around 300 miles and has 10 tolls, cash only.:eek:

Doing a return trip would require 20 stops!
 
Simple solution for regular tolls is a crocodile clip bolted somewhere convenient with the coin(s) in the jaws.

Cheap as chips.

I have a poxy 10p toll on my way to Worksop, I put it in the filler cap flap, simples:)
 
I just have a small wallet/purse with some euros (folding and coins) in it. I put the ticket in the purse and hand the whole thing to the toll attendent.

They have always been more than happy to take out the money themselves and put any change back for you. They are sometimes amused but go to great pains to show they are only taking the right money.

This really works well.

I had a problem finding the change I had put in my tankbag for the M6 toll on Saturday, luckily the system accepted my debit card in the reader without the need to remove gloves etc. Next time I use the M6 toll on my bike I'll just get the debit card ready, no need to remove gloves and hold up the queue.
