MARIA R. MOGLINTOOK, OF ABBYVILLE, VIRGINIA.

COIN-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 345,520, dated July 13, 1886.

Application filed August 5, 1885.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, llIARIA R. MoOLIN- TOOK, of Abbyville, in the county of Meek lenburg and State of Virginia, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Coin-Holders, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a face view of my improved coin-holder; Fig. 2, a perspective view of a section of the same, showing the portion of the card punched out and the metallic wings upturned, so as to receive the coin.

The present invention relates to an improvement in coin-holders, to facilitate the transmission of coin through the mails, provided with systems of concentric perforations corresponding with the different denominations of coin, the said coin to be held in position by means of a series of inturned metallic wings, all of which will now be set forth in detail.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents a piece of card-board of such a size that it may be readily inclosed within an envelope provided therein. with a number of systems of concentric perforations, B, each series of perforations within each independent system being designed to be made through the cardboard, so that the part of the board inwardly from each series of perforations may be read ily punched out. Each of these series of concentric perforations is designed to correspond with some particular denomination of coin. The inner series, 0, are punched out to receive the smaller denominations-such as dimes, nickels, and quarters-while the outer and larger ones, D, are of such'asize as to correspond with the larger denominations, as half-dollars and dollars.

Outwardly from each series of concentric perforations I design to provide a series of Serial No. 173,669. (No model.)

metallic wings, E. These metallic pieces are placed at F, so that the ends or wings of the metallic pieces may be on the opposite sides of the cards. These metallic pieces are designed to be formed of some pliable material, so that the opposite ends may be bent down against the board, so that when the part of the cardboard inwardly from the perforations is punched out, as shown in Fig. 2, and the coin placed therein, the metallic wings E will press down against the opposite faces of the coin and prevent its becoming detached from the card-board. The card-board itself may be formed of flexible or inflexible material, as desired, and about the average thickness of coin.

As gold coin is of a different diameter from the silver and nickel coins, one or more of the independent series of perforations may be of such a size as to correspond therewith, though this may be optional.

What I claim as new is 1. A coin-holder provided with a system of concentric perforations, the different series of perforations in each system adapted to correspond with the different denominations of coin, substantially as herein set forth.

2. A coin-holder provided with a system of series of concentric perforations, each series corresponding in size to the different coins, the part of the holder within any one of the perforations of said series adapted to be punched out to receive a coin, and having pliable or flexible metal strips for holding said coin in place.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand, this 16th day of July, 1885, in the presence of witnesses.

MARIA R. MOOLINTOGK.
