Abstract
A coin wrapping apparatus that includes a denomination setting dial, a wrapping film width detector, a plurality of wrapping rollers for winding the wrapping film around a predetermined number of stacked coins, a coin support post, a coin support post moving mechanism for moving the coin support post between a waiting position, a wrapping position and a retracted position. The coin wrapping apparatus further includes a wrapping position adjusting mechanism for separately adjusting the vertical position of the coin support post and a controller for driving the wrapping position adjusting mechanism based upon the denomination of coins to be wrapped which is set with the denomination setting dial and the width of the wrapping film as detected by the wrapping film width detector, so that a vertical center of the stacked coins coincides with the widthwise center of the wrapping film at the wrapping position. With such an apparatus, it is possible to ensure that wrapping film portions for crimping having the same desired width are formed to project from the upper and lower ends of a roll of stacked coins so that the wrapping film can be crimped in a desired manner to obtain a desired wrapped coin roll.
