ABSTRACT:
A device for stacking coins, including at least one coin stacking well and a wedge positioned at a bottom of the coin stacking well. In one embodiment, the device sorts and packages different sized coins in coin wrappers using: (1) an input chute for receiving the coins into a hopper, (2) a guide for guiding the coins from the hopper along a predetermined path, the guide having a bottom surface with multiple apertures in the bottom surface, substantially coinciding with the predetermined path and each of the apertures becoming progressively larger in one direction; (3) a plurality of coin stacking wells for receiving the coins; (4) a plurality of coin chutes for directing coins from a respective aperture into a respective coin stacking well; and (5) a wedge positioned at the bottom of each coin stacking well. The wedge may be formed with a platform section and an angled section such that the end of an unfolded coin wrapper surrounds the bottom of the platform. The platform and angled portion having a height sufficient to cause excess coins to land above the edge of the other end of the coin wrapper and coin stacking well and thus, not be retained in the coin stack but to slide off the downward direction of slant of the angled portion.
