Eurobaggie - where can I find another one?

The first year of the Euro I bought a small, plastic Euro coin holder (at a shop named 'plastiques' on Rue de Rennes). The coin purse has slots for each of the Euro coins (4-6 of each coin type). It unfolds to give quick access to all coins and, when folded and snapped, it is a handy pocket-size.

I returned to the plastiques shop the next year (and every year since) but they no longer carry it. Periodically, I do a Google search but haven't been able to locate that one (brand name 'Eurobaggie') or one similar. Does anyone know where I might find this item?

keri,

Is the coin pouch you were using something like This?

Ken, You've done better than I, but that's not quite it.

If I was at home I could snap a photo. Let's try this: This link (http://tinyurl.com/yyb2mpy) shows a leather coin purse with loose coins. But its shape is about right. Imagine it in soft plastic, with each side (when open flat) having 5 (or so) holes where a stack of coins (of a denomination) fit. The coins are held snugly, but (because it's soft plastic) it is very easy to insert and extract a coin or two.

It was great to get to know the different Euro coins and even now it's handy to keep the coins sorted out. I wouldn't mind having one for each kind of currency -- US, Canadian, Euro, ...

You are probably never going to find that brand again, likely a limited run...

Anyhow, here is what I found via googling:

American pocket coin dispenser: http://www.coindispenser.com/

Here is a neat Euro one:

Not sure you will find one built into a purse...

Jon, Those all look good. Thanks! (And I don't need them to be built in to a purse - these are along the line of what my Eurobaggie is.)

Now that you've given me a clue to a better search argument I also have located this: http://www.ez-euro.com/

This, and your third one, are closest to what I have.

It took me a while to come up with "coin dispenser". Had no idea what that type of device would be called!
