i dont really like altoids and dont wanna spend 99 cents on a pack just to throw them away. Is there another case that works just as well? Do you find this valuable?

Many tobacco mfrs make SNUS which comes in a similarly sized tin. There are plenty of other candies that come in a plastic container of similar size, though, not the same accessability. Old 35mm film canisters work well. None of these work? pop over to the nearest variety / convenience store and see what other small containers are around.

Medicine bottles (asprin, etc - just be sure to remove lables from perscriptions).

Empty spice bottles (garlic, oregeno, etc).

The plastic container that some brands of toothpicks come in.

Look around your house, you should be able to find dozens of good small containers.

An Aluma Wallet, I have been thinking of making a couple of kits for the family from them.

Do you find this valuable?

You could.....you know.......EAT the mints.....

Its just the size of kit, Altoids are the most popular tin, personally my PSK is a 500 count .177 pellet tin 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

I bought a Fossil wallet a while back, that came in a small aluminum tin case. The wallet is long gone, but I still have that tin somewhere. Do you find this valuable?
