  • the coin holder 1 is made of hard plastic, wherein it has the shape of a circular disc.
  • the coin holder is made of metal or other solid materials.

  • the coin holder 1 has a recess 10 which corresponds at least in height and in diameter exactly to the coin 2 and is used to hold it.
  • Retaining edge 11 In the upper area of the depression there is a radially protruding one Retaining edge 11 integrally formed. This is beveled and springy, so that the coin is pressed slightly into the recess can be. A coin in the recess will however held in position by the retaining edge 11, because the diameter of the coin is larger than that of the this direction not resilient retaining edge released Opening is.
  • the retaining edge 11 is in this embodiment arranged around the entire circumference of the recess. In further examples is only such in some areas Edge present.

  • FIG. 1 Another exemplary embodiment of the token is shown in FIG shown.
  • the coin holder 1 has a front slot-shaped introduction 15 for the coin 2.
  • Retention springs 120 are arranged in insertion 15. they form an angle to the direction of insertion so that they are inserting of coin 2 enable them to fall out prevent the same.

  • the coin 2 is on the one hand due to the static friction between the second part 1 '', the O-ring, and the first part 1 'of the coin holder 1 and on the other hand, due to the static friction between the O-ring and the coin 2 held in the coin holder 1. If the coin 2 removed, the O-ring is simultaneously removed from the recess 10 taken out. Without this, the coin 2 can cannot be held. The coin holder 1 thus points again a functional injury. This violation is however, in contrast to the exemplary embodiments described above reversible. That means, it can also be done after one first removal of the coin again with one Money piece provided with O-ring pressed into the money holder and the token can be used again. This is particularly advantageous for those tokens for charity Purposes are put into circulation and their cost so should be kept as deep as possible.
