coin pocket

Small jeans compartment

A coin pocket is the small pocket set within the front pocket of jeans or trousers, originally designed to hold coins or a pocket watch.

Despite its name, most people now use it for small items like keys, guitar picks, or pills: I keep my spare house key in the coin pocket.
