The container may have a plurality of number disks circling the hollow cylinder, each with polygonal outer wall and two internal ridges forming opposing slots aligned to on face. The container may also have a cap with two prongs with teeth that interact with the internal ridges of the number disks to lock the container, and freely pass through the slots when the container is unlocked. The container may be held together by one-way snaps, that allow free rotation of the number disk, and cap.
