The classic coin purse is an example of retro-resurgence. Ben Stiller, founder of Akron, Ohio-based Quikey, initially patented Quikoin in 1951. He hoped to design a pocket coin holder to decrease the amount of coin wear on men’s pants pockets. The product was compact, but contained a large enough imprint area for businesses to advertise their logo. The Quikoin’s popularity exploded throughout the United States beginning in the 1950s. In the ’80s, however, the item vanished from the fashion radar.
