Previous owner probably got tired of trying to clean it.
Move to Australia.

It just pops out.
Fixed in a second.
Had an 07 Corolla with the same design. They just clip into place.
And flipped the other way all it did was collect dust as I never put coins in it
Useful if you deal with toll roads or bridges maybe, especially the ones that took special tokens
Center console is my coin holder, hit a big bump and it sounds like I’m diving into Scrooge McDuck’s coin pool.
Someone reinstalled the piece upside down, this was not factory
I am, in fact, whelmed

It’s where you hide your car boogers when you are knuckles deep in your nostrils, duh.
The what?
The ‘05 Corolla was my first new car purchase 3 years out of high school so I knew the model just by looking at the photo. It’s my back up car now since I’ve recently purchased a RAV4. Anyways with the coin holder you can just pull it out and change the orientation.
Installed upside down? Or maybe, just maybe, at some time in the last 21 years someone popped it out and turned it over?
Just fix it it takes ten seconds
Solid undercling, probably a 5.8 route
That’s the passenger eject lever
Actually it’s right side up. It’s the rest of your car that’s upside down.
You got the Australia model.
Beer bottle opener
As a side note, I wouldn’t feel comfortable with coins there. I’d be afraid they’d be projectiles in an accident.
If that single piece doesn’t pop out with a trim tool, the panel over the top will. You can turn it around easily
Pretty sure you can just pop it out and back in again.
I honestly didn’t realize that was a coin holder till just now. I sold that car over 10 years ago.
Pop bottle opener?
This just makes it easier to open beer caps.
Put it back
Off topic, how many miles you got?
Interesting fact, OD stops at 200k. 😡
UPDATE YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!..
Yes, it popped off and was reversed. The piece was not original as it was dated 2014, likely when it was installed upside down.

For use south of the equator.

I think on the American trim that’s a bottle opener.
