ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for sorting and counting coins includes at least one tray and a pair of associated scoops. The tray includes a plurality of troughs for receiving and storing stacked coins, consisting of one or more troughs for accommodating quarters or alternatively nickels, and one or more troughs for accommodating pennies or alternatively dimes. The troughs are deep enough to fully receive a stack of associated coins, and dimensioned slightly larger than the larger of the coins to enable use of a scoop to retrieve the coins from the troughs. Each trough has a base end wall, and two indicia lines, spaced from that end wall, to identify stacks of the two denominations of coins for which the trough is designed. The scoops are elongated cylindrical members including a cylindrical handle and a tubular sheath projecting from one end of the handle. The sheath is C-shaped in cross section defining a longitudinal slot from which the interior of the sheath may be viewed, with the slots diverging at the tip end of the sheath to form a scoop or shovel end. The scoops are dimensioned to accommodate two denominations of coins, and the scoops each have two indicia spaced relative to the base end of the sheath defined by the handle, to identify shorter stacks of coins. The sheath may identify a stack of fifty pennies, for example; and the scoop may then be used to transfer that stack directly to a tubular paper wrapper.
