Abstract
Abstract Devices for use in the wrapping of coins comprising a tray and a coin holder or coin scoop. The tray is formed with receptacles for removably receiving the coin holder. There is a receptacle for each of various denominations of coins. At the forward end of each receptacle is a coin count abutment wall. The extent of the projection of the coin count abutment wall into its associated receptacle is related to a desired count of the coin denomination designated for the receptacle. The coin holder is indexed by the tray for a predetermined location within the receptacle. The filling of the trough of the coin holder with a column of coins of the denomination designated for the receptacle from a rear wall of the trough of the coin holder to the coin count abutment wall will cause the coin holder to carry a predetermined number of coins of the selected denomination.
