Abstract: A storing and feeding device for coins comprises a tube having an end that widens toward the outside, with retainers at the widened end of the tube for retaining the coins. The tube is slidably mounted on a support that has resilient pads that widen the retainers to free the coins. The coins, in turn, have a packaging comprising an opening strip and a sealing flange. The opening strip is accessible from outside the tube through a longitudinal opening in its wall.

Abstract: A coin dispenser sequentially dispenses coins of different denominations, starting with the highest and dispensing the maximum number possible in each denomination. A plurality of stacks of coins are arranged in side-by-side relationship with a continuously rotating cylinder below them common to all the stacks. A plurality of pegs are radially slidable on and relative to the cylinder and are arranged in helical fashion, one peg per stack. Cam and ratchet mechanism is provided for selectively advancing the peg associated with the denomination of coin to be dispensed, when that peg is below its associated stack, the peg being raised during as many revolutions of the cylinder as are necessary to dispense the required number of coins of that denomination.
