  • Coin holding device for filling coin cassettes
    Patent number: 7018286
    Abstract: A coin stacking device is used to refill a coin cassette of a coin dispenser. The coin stacking device includes a cylindrical structure having an inner diameter approximately the same as a diameter of the coins. The cylindrical structure has one open end and one closed end. The coins enter the open end and form a coin stack within the cylindrical structure. To refill a coin cassette, the open end of the filled coin stacking device is aligned with a coin receptacle in the coin cassette that is in need of coins. The coin stack is then transferred from the coin stacking device to the coin receptacle of the coin cassette. The coin stacking device can easily filled by an automated coin processing machine, such as a coin sorting machine or a coin counting machine.
