Coin-Tainers! Carry 40 cents with you at all times!

A fad that doesn't seem to have lasted long, at least in this version. Coin-tainers: chatelaines for your lapel to carry up to 40 cents in nickels. Seems like a pretty cool idea. I wonder why they didn't catch on? Maybe the change clanked too much while you wore it. LOL. This ad is from 1940. Note that the inventor is identified as "actress Ann Fulton". I didn't turn up much info when I did a quick search for more about her. Nor, did I find any additional ads or any patents for Ms Fulton's Coin-tainers.
