Check your map pockets!
While I had my driver side door panel off to repair some torn vinyl I noticed a rattle. I tapped it upside down against the garage floor and out falls $1.30 worth of period correct coins! They were hidden in the tiny air pockets under where the map pocket screws to the card. Thought Id share that I actually got paid to work on my RX7 today!

another excellent spot to find hidden things is in the hatch area below the antenna in well at the rear most corner of each quarter panel. i've found pens, cassette tapes, action figures, money, markers, hardware, etc down there over the years.

I found like 6 bucks in change when I took the driver's seat out.
It was stuck so assumed that the change was stopping it from sliding.
NOPE!
Turned out to be a goddamn Golf tee in the slider!

I bought a pinball machine at an amusement auction with 2 golden tee and a few video games. I noticed the pinball was EXTREMLY heavy in the front. Didn't think much about it. Got it home drilled the lock. $127.50 in quarters in the coin box con jelled together by what was probably the remains of a 12 pack of coke.
The golden tee had almost $100 in the dollar bill accepter.
