I think you're probably referring to the air vents for the feet of the rear passengers.

thats what i thought initially but they are not protected by any grill or anything to prevent things getting into ventilation, which is strange i guess. can that be preparation for some wiring coming with comfort seat package?

They just figured you'll love your car so much, you're gonna wanna smell that exhaust all the time

Those coins are a bitch to get out btw, arm yourself with some kind of tool - I used that thing my gf uses to pluck eyebrows and sh!t - whaddaya call it? Anyway, I found like a whole bag worth of stuff under my seats the first time I did a whole interior detail. Most of the change went to feed the vacuum cleaner though
