Abstract: A coin dispenser for accomodating and storing coins is made of plastics and comprises a plurality of coin compartments, each receiving a stack of coins of a certain denomination. The stack is retained by upper supporting flanges against which the stack is urged by a spring. The top coin of each stack can be pushed out from the dispenser by a user's finger, preferably the user's thumb and, reversely, a coin can be inserted into the dispenser in a similar manner. The arrangement is such that from a central depression or well free pushing-out paths are formed across the compartments between the supporting flanges. In this way the back or inner edges of the top coins are readily accessible for pushing out. In addition, the dispenser is designed in such a way that in their dwelling position all uppermost coins are prevented automatically from sliding out unintentionally from the dispenser.
