I don't think its a coin holder , the more I look at it. The bottoms are rounded. That is not the way a coin holder is shaped. I keep going back to a phonograph needle holder.

The old phonographs had built in metal trays for needles that were rounded for ease of getting needles. Not talking about phonograph tins.

No, No, No! -----Not right for a coin purse. -----Rounded bottoms on cups, top wrong. Looks similar, but no match.
