Claims15
A wrapped stack of like-diameter coins comprising:
- a stack of like-diameter coins extending along a longitudinal axis, the coin stack having opposite ends;
- a flat sheet wrapped around the stack of coins in a wrapping direction around the longitudinal axis, the wrapped sheet defining a tube surrounding the coin stack;
- the tube having first and second crimped ends that overlay the ends of the coin stack, the crimped ends resisting unwrapping of the tube without the assistance of glue or adhesives;
- the sheet comprising a leading portion at a leading edge of the sheet and a trailing portion at a trailing edge of the sheet, the trailing portion overlying the leading portion when the sheet is wrapped around the stack of coins;
- the trailing portion comprising a first edge portion extending in the wrapping direction and adjacent to the first crimped end of the tube when the sheet is wrapped around the sheet of coins, a second edge portion extending in the wrapping direction and adjacent to the second crimped end of the tube when the sheet is wrapped around the sheet of coins, and an intermediate portion disposed between the first and second edge portions;
- the trailing edge along the intermediate portion defining a tab extending in the wrapping direction beyond the first and second edge portions, the tab having spaced-apart first and second points on the trailing edge on opposite sides of the tab and including a third point on the trailing edge between the first and second points, the trailing edge extending in the wrapping direction from the first point to the third point and the trailing edge extending opposite the wrapping direction from the third point to the second point whereby the third point is spaced in the wrapping direction away from both the first point and second points.
