Rolled web of flattened formed coin wrappers

Abstract

A longitudinally continuous rolled web of flattened formed coin wrappers with longitudinally spaced, laterally extending lines of perforation on the web between individual wrappers effective for permitting hand separation of wrappers from the web along each line of perforation. Method of making and method of using such a rolled web of flattened formed coin wrappers.

1 . An article of commerce, comprising a longitudinally continuous rolled web of flattened formed coin wrappers with longitudinally spaced, laterally extending lines of perforation on the web between individual wrappers effective for permitting hand separation of wrappers from the web along each line of perforation.  
   
   
       2 . The article of commerce of  claim 1  wherein the web is formed of paper sheet stock.  
   
   
       3 . The article of commerce of  claim 1  wherein the coin wrappers bear indicia indicating a monetary denomination.  
   
   
       4 . An article of commerce, comprising a longitudinally elongated rolled web of flattened tubing defining superimposed upper and lower planar panels, the web having a plurality of longitudinally spaced laterally extending lines of perforation which extend through both the upper and lower panels so as to permit hand separation of individual lengths of tubing along each line of perforation.  
   
   
       5 . The article of commerce of  claim 4  wherein the tube is formed of paper sheet stock.  
   
   
       6 . The article of commerce of  claim 4  wherein the tubing is sized to permit use of individual lengths of tubing as a coin wrapper.  
   
   
       7 . The article of commerce of  claim 4  wherein the longitudinal spacing between consecutive lines of perforation is sufficient to permit use of the individual lengths of tubing as a coin wrapper.  
   
   
       8 . The article of commerce of  claim 4  wherein the rolled web bears indicia between the lines of perforation indicating a monetary denomination.  
   
   
       9 . A method of manufacturing an article of commerce, comprising: 
 (a) cutting a longitudinally elongated master web into a plurality of longitudinally elongated strips each having first and second lateral side portions,    (b) forming at least one of the strips into a longitudinally elongated tube by overlapping and joining the first and second lateral side portions of the strip,    (c) flattening the tube so as to define (i) a pair of longitudinally extending parallel crease lines along the longitudinal length of the tube, and (ii) superimposed upper and lower planar panels,    (d) perforating the flattened tube to create a plurality of uniformly longitudinally spaced laterally extending lines of perforation which extend through both the upper and lower panels of the tube so as to permit hand separation of individual lengths of tubing along each line of perforation, and    (e) rolling the perforated flattened tube into a roll.    
   
   
       10 . The method of  claim 9  further comprising the step of printing indicia of a monetary denomination along the longitudinal length of the at least one strip.  
   
   
       11 . The method of  claim 9  further comprising the step of printing indicia of a monetary denomination along the longitudinal length of the strips.  
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 9  wherein the first and second lateral side portions of the strip are joined with an adhesive.  
   
   
       13 . A method of creating a roll of coins, comprising the steps of: 
 (a) obtaining a longitudinally continuous rolled web of flattened formed coin wrappers with longitudinally spaced, laterally extending lines of perforation on the web between individual wrappers,    (b) separating a single coin wrapper from the web along a line of perforation, and    (c) inserting a predetermined number of coins having the same size, shape and denomination into the separated coin wrapper.
