Coin roll box

Abstract

A coin roll box formed from a unitary blank of cardboard or the like has a pair of adjacent side walls detachable from each other and from a pair of adjacent end walls and integrally hinged to the other adjacent side walls so as to form a pair of adjacent lids that can be independently opened for loading and inspection of the coin rolls. When one of the lids is opened, the coin rolls can be packed into the box by an automatic packaging system which rolls the coin rolls into the box by gravity. When the other lid is open, the number of coin rolls in the box can be checked by viewing the ends of the coin rolls packed in the box. The box walls form a plurality of internal flaps with tabs that fit into complementary slots in adjacent walls of the box to hold the box together and to hold the flaps against the respective walls over which the flaps are folded so that the flaps do not interfere with the loading of coin rolls into the box. When the first lid is open, the internal dimension between the second lid and the opposed side wall of the box is only slightly greater than the length of one of the coin rolls, so that these two internal surfaces of the box serve to guide the coin rolls and prevent the skewing thereof during the packing of the coin rolls into the box. The entire box can be held securely together by a single staple or other suitable fastening device.
