A coin container (10) for receiving coins or tokens (C1, C2) therein, comprising a receptacle (12) having a longitudinal wall (22) along a longitudinal axis X and end faces (20) at opposed ends of the longitudinal wall (22). The longitudinal wall (22) has an inner surface defining a cavity portion (28) with the end faces (20). The cavity portion (28) is adapted to partially receive therein a predetermined number of coins (C1, C2). Grooves (24, 26) protrude radially in the inner surface of the longitudinal wall (22). The grooves (24, 26) are adapted to receive partially therein at least one coin (C1, C2) of the predetermined number of coins (C1, C2) thereby separating other ones of the predetermined number of coins (C1, C2) in groups of the predetermined number of coins (C1, C2), such that the coins (C1, C2) in the grooves (24, 26) are offset radially from the groups. Means (14A, 14B) are provided for forming a tubular container with the cavity portion (28) of the receptacle (12) to hold the coins (C1, C2) captive in the tubular container (10). |
