Coins dropped into a hopper are directed one by one down a chute and into a coin wrapping tube located on a turntable. The tube is in vertical attitude and is open at its upper end to receive the coins. When a predetermined number of coins has been loaded in the tube, the machine is programmed to advance the turntable so that the coin-filled wrapper is moved to the next station and is there acted upon by a crimping die to close the open end of the tube. At the next advance, the coin-filled and closed tube progresses to a discharge station where it is ejected from the machine. In the meantime, an empty tube is deposited on the turntable preparatory to being moved ahead to the coin loading station, thereby completing the cycle.
