Abstract
A holder to receive a number of coins and the like which are stacked on top of one another wherein a cylindrical casing bounded at both ends and with an internal cross-section corresponding to the outer contour of the coins to be inserted, has a longitudinal slot extending over the whole length of the casing, the width of which is less than the diameter of each coin. This longitudinal slot is enlarged at least at one of the ends of the casing to form a gripping opening surrounded by a located edge or rim forming the end face, boundary or limit, and the walls and rims of the casing are, at least in part, made of a flexible material to enable the longitudinal slot to expand, at least in places, to the width of the coin.

A holder for receiving a number of coins and the like which are stacked on top of one another comprising:
- a substantially cylindrical casing having a casing wall and opposed ends;
- said cylindrical casing possessing an internal crosssection essentially corresponding to the outer contour of the coins to be inserted;
- a rim defining a locating edge provided at each end of the cylindrical casing for forming an end face boundary for limiting said cylindrical casing;
- said cylindrical casing being provided with a longitudinal slot extending over the entire length of said cylindrical casing;
- the width of said longitudinal slot being less than the diameter of each of the coins to be inserted into said cylindrical casing;
- said longitudinal slot being enlarged at least at one of the ends of the casing to form a gripping opening surrounded by the rim at said one end;
- said longitudinal slot being bounded by feed strips having inner guide surfaces which open outwards to form sliding surfaces for the coins to be inserted;
