I wanted change jingling in a pocket ?

it sounds as if someone has coined a phrase

must be an extraordinarily deep drawer to have pants hung by the cuffs in it

Sorry, I can't understand the sentence "I wanted change jingling in a pocket".

Change here refers to "coins". If you have a pile of change in the US, you have a pile of quarters, nickels, dimes and pennies.

Change jingling in a pocket means that there are enough coins in your pocket to make a jingling noise.

Thanks!

When the writer said: I wanted change jingling in a pocket and the sound of ice cracking in a cocktail glass at five thirty.

it meant:

I wanted (to hear the sound of )change jingling in (the pocket of my fathers coat or tousers) and (I wanted to) hear the sound of ice cracking in (his) cocktail glass at five thirty (which meant he was home from work and getting comfortable in the house.)

It may also suggest that the speaker, without a father, was poor. The change jingling would mean more comfort because it would signal that money was available to meet the family's needs.
