  • Patent number: 3938303
    Abstract: For packaging a preselected number of coins of the same denomination in the form of a neat stack, there is provided apparatus which broadly includes an infeed mechanism, coin stacking mechanism, coin wrapping mechanism, coin guide mechanism, wrapper feed mechanism, and adjusting mechanism. Each preselected number of coins of the same denomination to be enclosed in a single package is fed from the infeed mechanism into a stacking cylinder of the coin stacking mechanism, where the coins are rearranged into a neat stack. The coin guide mechanism includes a guide rod movable up and down for transporting the stack of coins from within the stacking cylinder down to a prescribed position between a plurality of wrapping rolls of the coin wrapping mechanism. A strip of wrapper is then delivered from the wrapper feed mechanism to the coin wrapping mechanism and is wound around the circumference of the stack of coins as the same is caused frictionally to rotate in circumferential contact with the wrapping rolls.
