Abstract

A coin roll opening device receives a wrapped roll of coins therein, and comprises at least one cutter having at least one roll engaging edge which is engageable against the roll of wrapped coins. The roll of wrapped coins and the cutter are moved relative to each other while the at least one cutting edge of the cutter is forced against the wrapper. In this manner, the coin wrapper is either sliced, scored or weakened, to permit easy opening of the roll of coins.
