Abstract
A bag holding device for coin bags which require periodic removal and replacement. The device comprises a tube with an open upper end which receives coins and an open lower portion which fits into the mouth of a coin bag. A support bracket receives the tube. The bracket forms an elongated track to support and guide the tube during a sliding movement between an advanced position where the tube receives coins and a retracted position where the tube is accessible for removal and replacement of the coin bag. A clamping device at the advanced position of the tube grips both the tube and a coin bag on the lower portion of the tube. This device holds the coin bag on the tube and holds the tube in an advanced position.
