A coin container for receiving coins or tokens therein, comprising a
receptacle having a longitudinal wall along a longitudinal axis and end
faces at opposed ends of the longitudinal wall. The longitudinal wall has
an inner surface defining a cavity portion with the end faces. The cavity
portion is adapted to partially receive therein a predetermined number of
coins. Grooves protrude radially in the inner surface of the longitudinal
wall. The grooves are adapted to receive partially therein at least one
coin of the predetermined number of coins thereby separating other ones of
the predetermined number of coins in groups of the predetermined number of
coins, such that the coins in the grooves are offset radially from the
groups. Means are provide for forming a tubular container with the cavity
portion of the receptacle to hold the coins captive in the tubular
container.
