Through the design of the container dispenser the paper currency notes may be accessed using only one hand. This will reduce the time and effort it takes to stop and pay highway tolls with (paper currency). Also when receiving coin currency as a result of the exact amount being paid not being accomplished with paper currency notes alone. Change received by hand in the form of coins may be placed using one hand into the container dispenser for storage. Typically the operator of a motorcycle must stop, place the vehicle in neutral, put the kickstand down, remove the gloves, get the currency from a traditional wallet from a pants pocket and hand the currency to the toll collector. Get change in the form of coins and place them in a pants pocket. Then reverse the order of the preceding to continue on. Thus increasing the stress on the driver and toll collector, risking dropping the gloves, wallet and currency, holding up traffic flow and slowing the driver and others forward progress through the cash toll collection process.

For ready access it may be attached to the handlebars, windshield, sun visor of a car or to a person, person's belt, or purse with the built in belt clip. Prior to the use it is pre-loaded by the user with a sufficient supply of paper currency. The motorcycle operator stops at the tollbooth holds in the clutch with the left hand. It is not necessary to remove the gloves, then with the right hand reaches out and pulls out one or more paper currency notes from the container and hands it to the toll collector. If there is coin currency change the driver receives it with the right hand and places the coins in the slot in the container for coin storage. The driver is able to complete the process and continue on much more quickly. The dispenser with its supply of paper currency notes continues to remain secure, easily accessible and ready to access at the next toll stop. This invention reduces vehicle operator and toll taker stress and improves, efficiency, security, traffic flow and safety.
