    I have a plastic tube for holding quarters when playing in tournaments ($10 worth), and the plastic has cracked. I could go out and buy more plastic coin tubes, but I was wondering if anyone produces a metal version of these tubes, preferably with a screw on cap. Does anyone sell such a thing? I've had no luck in the searches I've done over the Internet for such a thing, but I have to think it's been done before. Does anyone have any leads on this? Thanks in advance!

    35mm film canisters are close to the size you need, less height.

    I'd be looking at junk flashlight bodies.

    i looked around.. there are some cool vintage ones for dimes made of metal, but nothing for quarters

    You could buy something like this and shorten it...

    That's a tube of quarters in my pocket.
    I'm not that happy to see you.

    I find prescription pill bottles work very nice for something like this.
