ABSTRACT:
Opening device for a package of coins. For the opening of packages of coins, there is provided a keylike device having a handle portion and two prongs at one end thereof spaced from each other and projecting from such end in generally parallel relationship to each other. One of said prongs is straight-sided and adapted for lying against the outside of a coin package when the device is in use. The other of said prongs is relatively shorter, is spaced from the first prong a distance slightly greater than the thickness of the rim of the packages with which said device is to be used and has a portion projecting from the end thereof in the direction remote from said first prong. In use, said device is placed with said first prong outside of the package and the second prong adjacent the inside of the rim of said package and the key is twisted to bring said projection against or under the free edge of said rim. Said key is then rocked to lift said rim and simultaneously further twisted to tear said package open.
