  • Patent number: 4694845
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a coin counter and wrapper holder for use with conventional paper coin wrappers and to a method of counting and wrapping coins. The device includes a base from which pedestals project upwardly, each pedestal terminating in a circular end face. Each pedestal fits inside and forms a support for the lower end portion of a conventional paper coin wrapper of a specific denomination. Also mounted to the base is an upper wrapper support which has a U-shaped slot proportioned to fit around the outside of each coin wrapper. Each of the pedestals is proportioned so that the distance from its top surface to the top surface of the upper wrapper support is the same as the height of a stack of coins intended for a particular wrapper. The distance between the top of each pedestal and the base is arranged so that each coin wrapper will abut the base at one end and be flush with the top surface of the upper wrapper support at its opposite end. An accurate and speedy coin count is thus assured.
