Abstract
REUSABLE COIN COUNTER AND HOLDING DEVICE
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
While measuring racks and the like are known to count or measure the number of coins required to wrap same into rolls, the actual wrapping requires considerable experience and dexterity and can be time consuming. The present device consists of a relatively thin plastic or card semi-circular trough having closed ends and a length equal to the required number of coins in a roll of that particular denomination with the curvature of the trough and length thereof varying with each denomination of coin.
The entire trough and measured contents may then be wrapped in a conventional coin wrapper readily and easily as the closed ends of the trough retain the coins during the rolling process.

' This inventlon relates to new and useful lmprovement~ in methods and apparatus for rolling coins into cylinders containin~ a predetermined number of coins ~epending upon the denomlnation thereof.
For example, it i~ conventional in Canada to roll c~ins of a one cent denomination in rolls of fifty, flve cent d~nomination in roll~ of forty, ten cent denomi-nation in rolls of fifty, and twenty-five cent denomina-tion ln rolls o~ forty all of which can be ~itted to a conventional substantially rectangular coln wrapper made p~per or plastic.

A reusable coin holder and automatic quantity selection device comprising an arcuately curved cross section trough and a vertical wall at each end of said trough, and a flexible coin wrapping sheet, said sheet enclosing said holder with the predetermined number of coins therein, into a coin roll.
2. The device according to claim 1 in which the vertical walls extend upwardly beyond the upper edges of the trough with the upper edges of said vertical walls being arcuately curved.
3. The device according to claim 1 in which the length of said trough is modular to receive only a predetermined number of coins thereby automatically ensuring the correct predetermined number of coins of the denomination fitting the trough radially and longitudinally.
4. The device according to claim 2 in which the length of said trough is modular to receive only a predetermined number of coins thereby automatically ensuring the correct predetermined number of coins of the denomination fitting the trough radially and longitudinally.
5. A method of counting and rolling coins comprising the steps of:
(a) filling a substantially semi-circular cross-sectional close ended trough with coins of the same denomination, from one end to the other, thereby measuring a predetermined number of said coins;
(b) placing said trough transversely on a coin wrapper and spaced inwardly from one end thereof;
(c) folding said one end partially around said trough; and (d) rolling the trough of coins within said wrapper until fully enclosed therein and then tucking the side ends of said wrapper inwardly against the closed ends of said trough.
(a) filling a substantially semi-circular cross-sectional close ended trough with coins of the same denomination, from one end to the other, thereby measuring a predetermined number of said coins;
(b) placing said trough transversely on a coin wrapper and spaced inwardly from one end thereof;
(c) folding said one end partially around said trough; and (d) rolling the trough of coins within said wrapper until fully enclosed therein and then tucking the side ends of said wrapper inwardly against the closed ends of said trough.
