A predetermined number of coins in a stack are wrapped automatically in a coin wrapping apparatus with a material which is particularly adapted for wrapping coins and consisting of a highdensity polyethylene sheet. The sheet is unidirectionally predrawn in a direction coinciding with the peripheral direction of the stack of coins having a width and length exceeding the height and circumference of the stack of coins, wrapped about the stack to provide margins projecting beyond both end faces of the coin roll and the projecting margins are folded at both ends of the roll for providing crimped fold rims extending near the periphery on the roll end faces.

Coin wrapping method

In a coin packaging apparatus of the type comprising a stacking cylinder for stacking a prescribed number of coins of the same denomination, a cutter blade for severing a wrapper strip as the same is unwound from its roll, wrapping rolls for winding the severed piece of wrapper strip around the circumference of the stack of coins, and a pair of crimping hooks for crimping the opposite marginal edges of the wrapper strip over both ends of the coin stack, several wrapper rolls of different widths are used interchangeably in accordance with the denomination of coins to be packaged, and each time a new wrapper roll is installed in position on the apparatus, its width is sensed by a wrapper width sensing member which correspondingly actuates a mechanism for adjustably moving one of the crimping hooks in the direction of the other hook and a mechanism for adjustably changing the position of the cutter blade in the transverse direction of the wrapper strip which will extend therepast from its roll.
