Coin holder

Abstract

An apparatus for storing coins. The apparatus comprises an elongated member having a predetermined shape. There is a first substantially cylindrical cavity having a first predetermined diameter formed in the elongated member, such first substantially cylindrical cavity is terminated at a first predetermined depth in the elongated member. There is a second substantially cylindrical cavity having a second predetermined diameter formed in the elongated member in at least one of an axially aligned position to the first substantially cylindrical cavity and beside the first substantially cylindrical cavity of the elongated member, the second substantially cylindrical cavity terminating at a second predetermined depth in the elongated member and at least one closure member engageable with the elongated member for closing an opening to such first and such second substantially cylindrical cavity.

       3 . The apparatus, according to  claim 2 , wherein said elongated member further includes a fourth substantially cylindrical cavity having a fourth predetermined diameter formed in said elongated member substantially adjacent said second substantially cylindrical cavity wherein said second substantially cylindrical cavity is axially aligned with said first substantially cylindrical cavity, said fourth substantially cylindrical cavity terminating at a fourth predetermined depth.  
   
   
       4 . The apparatus, according to  claim 1 , wherein said first predetermined diameter is substantially equivalent to a diameter of a quarter.  
   
   
       5 . The apparatus, according to  claim 1 , wherein said second predetermined diameter is substantially equivalent to a diameter of a nickel.  
   
   
       6 . The apparatus, according to  claim 1 , wherein said third predetermined diameter is substantially equivalent to a diameter of a penny.  
   
   
       7 . The apparatus, according to  claim 1 , wherein said fourth predetermined diameter is substantially equivalent to a diameter of a dime.  
   
   
       8 . The apparatus, according to  claim 1 , wherein said first predetermined depth and said second predetermined depth are substantially similar.  
   
   
       9 . The apparatus, according to  claim 3 , wherein said third predetermined depth and said fourth predetermined depth are substantially similar.  
   
   
       10 . The apparatus, according to  claim 1 , wherein said predetermined shape of said elongated member is substantially elliptical.  
   
   
       11 . The apparatus, according to  claim 1 , wherein said apparatus is made of plastic.  
   
   
       12 . The apparatus, according to  claim 1 , wherein said apparatus has a predetermined color.  
   
   
       13 . The apparatus, according to  claim 12 , wherein said predetermined color is selected from at least one of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, white and black.  
   
   
       14 . The apparatus, according to  claim 1 , wherein said apparatus has advertising disposed on an exterior surface of said elongated member.  
   
   
       15 . The apparatus, according to  claim 2 , wherein said apparatus has two closure members.  
   
   
       16 . The apparatus, according to  claim 3 , wherein said apparatus has two closure members.  
   
   
       17 . The apparatus, according to  claim 15 , wherein said both closure members are slidable.  
   
   
       18 . The apparatus, according to  claim 16 , wherein said both closure members are slidable.  
   
   
       19 . The apparatus, according to  claim 1 , wherein said at least one closure member is knurled.  
   
   
       20 . The apparatus, according to  claim 17 , wherein said both closure members further include raised locking tabs on an underside of said both closure members.
