ABSTRACT:
The invention involves a coin dispenser that can be carried in its user's clothing pocket, and has multiple chambers for holding coins with their faces parallel to the dispenser's largest face. Each chamber holds its coins in a stack. Each stack is urged upward by a follower and spring toward a pair of opposing retaining ledges at the top of the dispenser. Each follower has a center stub on its spring side which is guided in a hole in the dispenser's bottom. This guidance reduces the coverage of a top coin needed by the pair of ledges. The reduced coverage provides improved access of a user's finger or thumb to the top coin for pushing it radially through an opening and out of the dispenser. Each guided follower also prevents a top coin from tilting its edge away from its opening or a user's pushing finger. Each chamber has a trough cutting into it, opposite the opening, which aids the user's finger access to a top coin. The trough also gives the user a view of the edges of all the coins in the chamber for counting them. The dispenser can be spun in the fingers to quickly access other coin chambers. The dispenser has a snap-on bottom cover that is contoured to approximate the shape of the user's body when carried in his or her clothing pocket.
