I might have had one, don't remember for sure. When I was a teenager I did have a small leather change pouch for a few years.

People find it funny that half the keys on my key ring are skeleton keys. The various doors and locks on our house were installed 1734 to 1775, and while we do have a few new doors with modern keys, I've never changed out the originals.

The old door locks are backed up with cane bolts or slide bolts, as even I could pick some of the old locks, knowing how they work inside.

For a while I had one of those squeeze together to open change pouches. The were rubbery, with a slot in the top and when you squeezed it you could add or remove change. They were often given away as store promos.

I liked it but the rubbery material it was made of tended to slightly melt and get sticky in the hot weather and that didn't work for me. I didn't have much change, or really any money so no big deal. If made better, they might still be around today.

I remember finding several over the years in desk drawers and such that had apparently been there for years. The coins were always stuck together.
