Coin Purse
A coin purse is a small pouch or container used for holding coins, typically as part of a larger wallet or carried independently.
Material
Historically, coin purses were crafted from materials like leather, metal (silver, brass, pewter), and woven fabrics. Modern coin purses utilize a wider range of materials including:

- Plastic/PVC: Offer a lightweight and often waterproof option.
- Silicone: Increasingly popular for its flexibility and ease of cleaning.

The primary purpose of a coin purse is to securely store and organize loose change. This prevents coins from becoming lost, damaged, or rattling around in a larger wallet or bag. They also facilitate easy access to coins for transactions.
