Abstract (en)
A coin holder (1) for carrying in a pocket or handbag comprises a base member (4), a pair of opposed plates (2,3) mounted one on either side of the base member in spaced apart relationship therefrom, recessed so as to define, in combination with one side of said base member, a plurality of coin-receiving pockets (6) about the periphery of the holder accessible by slits (9). Through holes (7), each communicating with a respective one of the pockets (6) allow finger access to a coin (10) when stored therein, to push and slide the coin outwards from the pocket through the slit (9) for dispensing. Spring means (8a, 8b) press against the coin from below and/or from its side edges to retain the coin within the pocket when not required for dispensing. <IMAGE>
