Abstract: A coin packaging apparatus facilitates a change operation of the type of coins processed, can correspond to any type of coin, and is an apparatus which feeds coins one by one from a circular plate and conveys them along a coin passage and in which required processing, such as totaling and separation of the coins to be packaged, is performed. The coins are fed to a coin stacking portion where a required number of coins are stacked and packaged by a coin packaging portion. A coin passage width adjustment device steplessly adjusts the width of the coin passage, a coin passage height adjustment device steplessly adjusts the height of the coin passage, and a coin stacking portion inner diameter adjustment device steplessly adjusts the inner diameter of the coin stacking portion. A coin information input portion receives coin information, including at least the diameter and thickness of coins to be proposed. A coin information coin passage width information P.sub.

Abstract: An improved coin stacking apparatus is shown which builds the stack by placing each successive coin at the bottom of the stack made of the preceding coins. This makes the device more compact in the vertical direction. The coins are stacked by a movable wheel or belt which has a coin engagement device that engages the leading edge of the coin. The wheel or belt further includes a coin displacement device which vertically displaces the stack to allow the succeeding coins to slide beneath the stack.

Abstract: Each unit number of coins to be stacked and wrapped are centrifugally aligned on a rimmed turntable and fed in a row along a horizontal coin guideway to a stacking position, where the successive coins are stacked by a toothed stacking wheel capable of placing each new coin under the preceding one. Thus the coins are stacked on, rather than under, the plane of the coin guideway with a view to the reduction of the vertical dimension of the machine to a minimum. Disposed around the stack of coins thus formed are a set of parallel wrapping rolls at least one of which is displaceable for rotatably engaging the coin stack between itself and the other wrapping rolls. With the forced rotation of the wrapping rolls together with the coin stack, a piece of wrapper strip is wound around the latter, and the side edges of the wrapper strip are folded against the opposite ends of the stack. The wrapped stack of coins is ejected downwardly.
