I have acquired a number of wooden boxes, about 9"X5"x4" that would work.
You could easily make such a box out of pine and a few screws.

Also, I use those plastic trays that are designed to fit in drawers to keep
things organized. I refer to the type you would find in the kitchen area of
a store and primarily used for silverware etc. Caution, these trays are not
designed to carry a lot of weight.

You could also check the storage area of stores for other plastic storage
boxes.

A conclusion is simply the place

Coin stores order plastic tubes in boxes of 100. The tubes are stored
upright in a 10 by 10 - 1" foam grid with correctly sized holes. You may be
able to swing a deal for some old boxes.
