GEORGE THEODORE BAOH, OF CINCINNATI, OHIO.

COIN AND BILL HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 636,614, dated November '7, 1899.

Application filed January 13 1899. Serial No. 702,112. (No model.) I 7 T0 aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE THEODORE BAOH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Coin and Bill Holders; and I do hereby declare the following to, be a full, clear, and exact description of'the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in coin holders and transporters for the mailing of coins through the mails without danger of their loss.

It has for its object, among others, to provide a simple and cheap device of this class by which coins of any denomination may be securely and easily packed for mailing, and in one of its forms it has provision also for the mailing of bills.

The improvement comprises a piece of pasteboard or similar material having a piece of paper or its equivalent gummed upon one side, with openings in the pasteboard for the reception of the coins,and then upon the other side the device is designed to have affixed a gummed strip or piece of paper bearing the printed or written address. When designed for the transportation of bills as well as coins, an envelop or its equivalent is affixed to the back face of the holder.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will hereinafter appear, and the novel features thereof will be particularly pointed out in the appended claim.

The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which, with the letters of reference marked thereon, form a part of this specification, and in which- Figure 1 is a View of my improvement with the cover removed. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the holder with the bill-carrying attachment. Fig. 3 is a section through Fig. 2.

Like letters of reference indicate like parts in the several views.

Referring now to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates the body portion of the holder, of cardboard or other similar material, having therein the openings 0. of difierent sizes corresponding to the sizes of the diiferent coins-=such as fifty cents, twenty-five cents, and so on-and upon one face of this body portion A is secured, by gum or mucilage or the like, a backing B, while O is a cover the same size as the body portion, having upon its outer face any suitable inscription, such as Coin holder and transporter, for the transportation of coins through the United States. Amount enclosed and any other suitable inscription that may be desired. The cover 0 is attached at one edge to the body portion A, and after the coins are placed in position this cover is secured in place by either having the back thereof gummed or the front face of the body portionA may be gummed, and when moistened the two will readily ad here. When designed for the transportation of bills also, I place upon the back B an envelop D, secured thereto by gum or otherwise, and into which may be placed the bills and the flap sealed. The packages when the coin or coins and bills have been placed therein are designed to be sent by mail, preferably by being placed in a suitable envelop from which the coins cannot be displaced, because they cannot move about or rattle in their package or otherwise.

Modifications in details may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention or sacrificing any of its advantages.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is As an article of manufacture, .a coin-holder and bill-transporter, comprising a body portion having coin -receiving openings for coins of different denominations, a back gummed thereto so as to close said openings at one side, an envelop secured to the outer surface of said back and having a gummed sealingflap, and a cover attached to the opposite side of the body so as to cover the coin-1e ceiving openings, said cover being attached only along that edge of the body where the sealing-flap of the envelop occurs, the opposite edge of the cover being left unattached and the cover as a whole having adhesive material applied to its inner side.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

GEORGE THEODORE BAOH.
