Coin pocket for coins…?

No joke, I'm very superstitious. I keep two silver dollars in there in case I die when I'm out of the house. I wanna make sure I have enough to pay Chiron for the boat ride

Are you referring to the built in Zippo lighter holster? 😂

[-]

I used a zippo I received at my friend's wedding 25 years age to light my stove the other day when the power was out. It was completely dry of fluid but the flint had just enough spark for me to get the burner lit.

[-]

Moist_Rule9623@reddit

I don’t carry them anymore but they were a must-have in like high school onward into my 30s. I only have one now and it stays at home (plus a couple of collectible ones that have never been lit)

[-]

kanakamaoli@reddit

I worked in a navy shipyard and would visit the ship stores to buy momentos like zippos with ship crests on them.

[-]

Moist_Rule9623@reddit

Oddly enough, the guy who got me going on Zippos was my best friend’s older brother (essentially my surrogate big brother in a lot of ways) when he came home from? Serving in the Navy! First one I ever used had his boat’s numbers & name on it

HopelesslyHuman@reddit

This was my thought. I didn't even smoke when I started carrying a Zippo. I just thought they were cool.

Growing up where they were made didn't hurt.

[-]

Moist_Rule9623@reddit

At like 19 I was such a geek over them I visited the museum, ok? Now to be clear this was a stop on an existing road trip; but I volunteered to drive the trip ONLY if I got to add about 2 hours to the drive home 😂 and yes my friends gave me shit about wanting to visit a MUSEUM lol

I've been to a Kazoo museum and it was awesome.

Moist_Rule9623@reddit

In my travels, the best one I went to was an 18th century tavern in Maine (which was part of Massachusetts during the revolutionary war) where the first successful naval victory against Britain was planned. In Machias ME

[-]

HopelesslyHuman@reddit

It's a really cool little place. Lots of important American history of the 20th tied up in Zippos.

[-]

Moist_Rule9623@reddit

I’ve read all about it lol. And the guys I was traveling with actually enjoyed it too; but at first it was definitely a “we’re doing WHAT???” 🤣

[-]

Pretty sure thats not a coin pocket, it was designed for a watch. Pocket watches on a chain fit perfect in that small pocket. I used to have a 1920s gold plated Elgin watch, 17 jewel wind up, kept it in that pocket until my parents broke into my house and stole it while i was away for a week. I then carried a cheap $10 battery pocket watch from walkmart. Haven't carried a watch in years but those pants pockets were for watches. I'm probably one of the few weirdos my age who preferred a pocket watch over a wrist watch (xennial).

Anyway, probably should have had an onion on my belt while i was at it lol.

[-]

Dantez9001@reddit

The belt onion has gone out of fashion (but it's going to make a comeback!) Back when people started getting smart watches, I told them I had a smart pocket watch, I then proceeded to pull out my phone.

My car gets 40 rods to the hogs head and that's the way I like it!

The metric system is a tool of the devil!

[-]

somecoolname42@reddit

You mean the watch pocket? A mini bic lighter, two $40 in cash for emergencies, and two gold sovereigns for catastrophes.

[-]

No-Assignment6685@reddit

2 forty dollar bills? You really were prepared for anything.

[-]

TheTxoof@reddit

Found the redditor from another timeline.

[-]

somecoolname42@reddit

I ment 2 $20s to make $40.

[-]

A gummy or two for later

Carry my pocket knife there as long as it’s deep enough.

[-]

Annhl8rX@reddit

I don’t use it for anything. Not all pants have it, and I don’t depend on anything that isn’t consistent.

For a short time, though, I had a little fixed blade knife I carried in there. It only worked with that one particular knife and whatever specific jeans I was wearing at that time. The sheath was just small enough to fit, and just big enough to be wedged I. There tight enough I could pull the knife without the sheath coming out.

I thought it was a cool setup, but I still always carried my regular knife in my back pocket (again, because I always have a back pocket. I never used the little fixed blade, so I scrapped the idea after a couple of weeks or so.

[-]

No-Assignment6685@reddit

This guy knifes

[-]

SweetCosmicPope@reddit

Growing up in Texas that was where everybody kept their pocket knives. If I carry one today, that’s still where I put it. Usually it’s a multitool now though.

[-]

ken830@reddit

You still have a car remote?

[-]

Just-Eddie83@reddit (OP)

If you are referring to driving one of Elons toys yes a key fob. I’m middle class I don’t have a all electric vehicle

[-]

ken830@reddit

For most people, a Model 3 is cheaper to own than a Camry.

[-]

idio242@reddit

Drugs.

[-]

DingbattheGreat@reddit

Nope.

No idea what this “coin pocket” you are referring to.

There is, however, the fifth pocket made to hold a pocket watch.

[-]

Professional_Scale66@reddit

Nickels and dimes lol

[-]

Rhapdodic_Wax11235@reddit

It’s a watch pocket- not a coin pocket. Pocket watches “went out” years ago and the pocket is still there.

[-]

Listerine strips.

[-]

ButterscotchAware402@reddit

My dad always joked it was for boogers. I used to use it for drugs. Now I use it for ibuprofen.

[-]

SpoonFullOfSugar1111@reddit

I used to use it for drugs. I still use it for drugs, but I used to too.

[-]

seanie_rocks@reddit

Still technically drugs so you're still cool.

[-]

ButterscotchAware402@reddit

I have never been hip, nor have I been with it but if you guys think I'm cool I'll take it

[-]

IcyForecast@reddit

Only a seriously cool cat can be so eloquent in his denial of the reality that tells the tale of a person who is aware of butterscotch, but unaware of the presence he commands. And that is why we all know that, he has always been hip, he is with it more than it is with, and he just reaches out and takes whatever he wants, because he's just that cool

[-]

marmot1101@reddit

Home for the booger sugar? But yeah, it was the perfect size for a quarter of brick weed

[-]

Just-Eddie83@reddit (OP)

Wow what a great idea

[-]

More-read-than-eddit@reddit

That’s the cocaine pocket for most ppl

[-]

Just-Eddie83@reddit (OP)

I need to be friends with those people

[-]

Mind-of-Jaxon@reddit

Used to put my carb fob in there. But everyone harassed me about not having it connected to my house keys

[-]

Just-Eddie83@reddit (OP)

You don’t need negativity in your life. My car fob fits perfectly and my house can be unlocked by code or my fingerprint so I don’t “need” more keys.

[-]

cmiller0513@reddit

Vape pocket

[-]

Just-Eddie83@reddit (OP)

That small of a vape?

[-]

EarlBeforeSwine@reddit

2 questions:

1) Do you mean the watch pocket?

2) in what way are coins “a thing of the past?”

[-]

Just-Eddie83@reddit (OP)

It was originally intended for a pocket watch on a chain. And I’m a dad, so I never have cash let alone coins.

[-]

BookMan78@reddit

My house keys on a Disney keychain my Mom got me years ago

[-]

mc1rmutant_@reddit

I use it for my pocket watch

[-]

JustFiguringItOutToo@reddit

I did until my first cell phone

[-]

scizzix@reddit

Yes, "coin pocket" is a misnomer, the pocket was designed to hold a pocket watch for easy access and safety from other items you may have in your pocket. Since pocket watches fell out of fashion people use it for other things.
