A tilting station is provided to put the coin into an upright position, and a wrapping station is provided to form rolls of coins out of the stacks of vertical coins.In order to increase the amount of coins to be gathered into stacks of coins and wrapped as rolls of coins, per time unit, and in order to reduce the size of the mechanism the invention provides a tilting station consisting of two parallel tracks which connect to a feeding track. The parallel tracks are spaced a distance from each other which is slightly less than the diameter of the coins.
