Ok, you just gave the ________ a twenty and got back a five and quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies, oh great. Now your pocket or purse is going to be jangling all day long until you can dump it into the car's ashtray, or that big glass jar on top of your dresser. Ok, if you're American, your stuck with that, but if that's Canadian coin then here's an imperfect solution.
First, get a neodymium magnet, I grabbed mine from Lee Valley . Second, put a layer of duct tape over the silver disc just to protect it, because they are fragile and this makes it easier to pull the coins off of when you need to. Third, drop it in your pocket.
Seriously, that's all, the Canadian coins have an iron core in the centre when makes most of them (except some older pennies and nickels) suseptible to magnets. Now just don't put the duct taped magnet beside your cell phone or credit cards or else.
