Improved Coin Bag.
I, WILLIAM HOLE, care of Samuel Henry Stockwood, Solicitor, Bridgend, in
the County of Glamorgan, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to he as
follows:-
Coin bags as used in banks, railway offices shops and other like places of
business have hitherto usually been constructed of paper or woven material of a
texture sufficiently thick to prevent the nature of their contents being ascertained
without the bag being opened.
This often causes great annoyance and waste of time especially when a number
of bags some containing gold, some silver, and some bronze or nickel become mixed
together when it is found necessary, to prevent the possibility of a mistake
occurring, to open each bag in order that the nature of their contents may be
ascertained.
Now my invention has for its object an improved coin bag of such construction
that the nature of the contents can be ascertained at a glance.
For this purpose I construct my improved coin bag of paper or other suitable
material of a similar size and shape to those ordinarily used. My bags are
however perforated by punching, or in any other suitable manner on one or all
sides with holes at any desirable distance apart, and of such a size that the smallest
coins cannot fall therethrough.
With bags so constructed it will be unnecessary to open them to ascertain the
nature of their contents as this can be easily and quickly done by reason of the
perforations, aided if necessary by black or other coloured lines on the exterior of
the bag which would-form a relief to the colour of the coins it contains.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Coin Bag.
I, WILLIAM HOLE, care of Samuel Henry Stockwood, Solicitor, Bridgend, in
the County of Glamorgan, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
Coin bags as used in banks, railway offices shops and other like places of
business, have hitherto usually been constructed of paper or woven material of a
texture sufficiently thick to prevent the nature of their contents being ascertained
without the bag being opened.
This often causes great annoyance and waste of time especially when a number
of bags, some containing gold, some silver and some bronze or nickel, become
mixed together when it is found necessary to prevent the possibility of a mistake
occurring to open each bag in order that the nature of their contents may be
ascertained.
Now my invention has for its object an improved coin bag of such construction
that the nature of the contents can be ascertained at a glance.

For this purpose I construct my improved coin bag of paper or other suitable
material of a similar size and shape to those ordinarily used. My bags are
however perforated by punching, or in any other suitable manner on one or all
sides with holes at any desirable distance apart and of such a size that the smallest
coins cannot fall therethrough.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood and carried into
practice I will now proceed to describe the same, of which the accompanying
drawing is a perspective view of a bag constructed according to my invention.
The bag a is constructed of paper, linen or other suitable material and perforated
with holes b of any desirable shape and distance apart and of such a size that the
smallest coins cannot escape through them.
With bags so constructed it will be unnecessary to open them to ascertain the
nature of their contents as this can be easily and quickly done by reason of the
perforations, aided if necessary by black or other coloured lines c on the exterior of
the bag which would form a relief to the colour of the coins it contains.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :--
Perforated coin bags with or without relief colouring substantially as and for the
purpose described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
