ABSTRACT:
An improved portable coin bank having at least one tubular member configured to retain a stack of coins of a particular denomination and for permitting the lowermost coin of the stack to be manually dispensed as required comprising a lower support portion having an inclined bottom support surface having a first U-shaped cut to facilitate removal of a coin and extending more than half-way around the periphery of the tube, a second U-shaped cut in the front of the tube conterminous with the first U-shaped cut, and a pair of parallel slits on either side of the second opening extending upward from the lower support portion and each pair defining a spring member for retaining the stack of coins and permitting withdrawal of the lowermost coin by flexing radially outward. Between the second U-shaped opening and each spring member there is provided an arched portion which serves to prevent additional coins from being inadvertently dispensed as the lowermost coin is withdrawn. In a preferred embodiment, the improved coin bank comprises three such tubular members each for retaining a stack of coins of a different denomination.
