Patent ID: 8272929

Claim:
A device comprising a gravity-assisted auto-arranged coin stacker and dispenser capable of stacking coins automatically in a staggered row and columnar configuration within a container; the container further comprising a back panel, a front panel, and at least a pair of intervening spacer strips separating the back panel from the front panel; the spacer strips further comprising a left spacer strip and an opposing right spacer strip disposed at corresponding right and left edges in between the back panel and front panel thus forming an open space between the back panel and front panel; the left spacer strip having coin deflectors that are formed at an oblique angle with respect to the coin deflectors formed on the opposing right spacer strip; wherein the coin deflectors are spaced apart commensurate with the diameter of the coins to form a staggered row and columnar configuration; the container further apportioned a top portion and a bottom portion, the top portion configured to accept coins, the bottom portion to dispense coins; the space between the back panel and front panel providing an opening in the top portion of the container into which coins can be dropped; the bottom portion comprising further a gate latch that releases a latch bar disposed over a stationary support bar; the stationary bar forming an opening through which the coins can drop; a handle that slides the latch bar over the stationary bar to expose the coins in the top portion above the latch bar to the opening below formed by the stationary bar; and a chute that accepts coins falling from the opening above to roll down to another opening that releases the coins outside the gravity assisted auto-arranged coin stacker and dispenser.
