  • Patent number: 7837031
    Abstract: A coin holder is provided that includes two covers and a flap to separate the interior surfaces of the covers. Coin containers are provided on the interior surfaces of the covers. In this manner, for example, the flap protects the surfaces of the coin containers from directly interfacing (e.g., scratching) one another. The coin containers lift a coin (or at least a portion of the rim of a coin) above the interior surface of a cover such that the rim of the coin may be viewed while the coin resides in the coin container.

  • Patent number: 5242365
    Abstract: A package having a separable overlay is formed by a high speed web roll manufacturing method and adapted for multiple marketing of retail goods. The package has at least three layered sheets of flexible material, the outermost sheet being quickly and easily removable from the remainder of the package without disruption thereof. The package may thus be converted from one for marketing goods under a label of a seasonal or special nature to a package for marketing goods under a label of a general or everyday nature, to thereby extend the profitable shelf-life of the package.
