Abstract

A coin holder for a radio pager and the like includes a generally rectangular body having a planar back surface supporting an adhesive layer for attaching the coin holder to a surface of a pager casing, for example. The coin holder body includes spaced apart flanges defining a coin receiving slot and leaving an open space for viewing the coin holder to determine if a coin is in the coin holder slot. The flanges each include a partial arcuate recess on an inner surface for registration with the coin to support the coin against unwanted dislodgement from the holder. A boss is formed on a surface of the body between the flanges, preferably disposed at the center of the coin, to position the coin in the coin receiving recesses of the flanges. Another portion of the body includes a surface on which suitable indicia may be printed or applied to the coin holder.
