Abstract

A reusable coin container serves as both a coin bank and a coin wrapper, and comprises two sections which snap together to form a pair of parallel cylinders each capable of holding a predetermined number of coins of a particular denomination. When the container is full, the sections are readily separated, and one section comprises a convenient holder from which coins may be dispensed. The container is arranged so that once full, insertion of an additional coin causes separation of the sections.
