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?
