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. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The wrapped stack of claim 1 wherein the tab is substantially centered between the ends of the coin stack. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The wrapped stack of claim 1 wherein the trailing edge along the intermediate portion defines at least one additional tab overlying the stack of coins and extending in the wrapping direction away from the first and second edge portions. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The wrapped stack of claim 1 wherein the coin tube has longitudinally opposite ends, the trailing edge comprising an edge subportion extending from each end of the coin tube to the tab, each edge subportion extending from the respective end of the coin tube around the longitudinal axis in a direction opposite the wrapping direction. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The wrapped stack of claim 4 wherein each edge subportion extends from a point on the respective edge of the coin tube, the tab extending beyond a line joining the edge points. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The wrapped stack of claim 1 wherein the tube has an outer radius dimension, and the third point extends in the wrapping direction from the first and second points a distance less than the outer radius dimension. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The wrapped stack of claim 1 wherein the portion of the trailing edge defining the tab is convex. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The wrapped stack of claim 1 wherein the leading edge of the sheet and the trailing edge of the sheet have identical profiles. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The wrapped stack of claim 1 wherein the trailing edge of the sheet has a generally “W” shaped profile. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The wrapped stack of claim 1 wherein the tab is foldable along a fold line without affecting the remainder of the coin tube. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The wrapped stack of claim 1 wherein the portion of the trailing edge defining the tab is disposed between a pair of concave trailing edge subportions. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The wrapped stack of claim 1 wherein the sheet is kraft paper. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The wrapped stack of claim 1 wherein the crimped ends are crimped by crimp claws. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The wrapped stack of claim 1 wherein the tab comprises a surface facing the stack of coins, the surface without glues or adhesives. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The wrapped stack of claim 1 without glues or adhesives.
