A hinged coin holder having two semi-circular parts hinged together at one curvilinear extremity and releasably joined at the other is improved by the provision of a plurality of internal pockets or compartments which are dimensioned to receive no greater than a predetermined number of coins of a specific denomination, irrespective of the thickness of the coins, so that the maximum desired number of coins may be unerringly packaged in the holder.

In a holder for disc-like objects constructed of polymeric material and formed by molding as an integral element, comprising an elongate hollow cylindrical body having a generally circularly cross-section of diameter substantially that of the disc-like objects to be packaged therein and formed of two semi-circularly cross-sectioned portions joined together at one common edge and releasably joined together by releasable locking means at the other common edge to enable opening of said body to occur at the other common edge to gain access to the interior of the body, the improvement wherein said releasable locking means comprises: at least one wedge-shaped upwardly-extending projection provided at and tapering towards the arcuate extremity of a resiliently-flexible tongue extending from adjacent the midpoint along the length of one curvilinear extremity of the body, a slot having a length slightly greater than the transverse dimension of the tongue and formed in an upright flange extending from the other curvilinear extremity of the body in a plane which substantially passes through the body hinge line, and a deflector bar extending perpendicularly to the flange towards said tongue at the upper extremity of said slot to deflect said wedge-shaped projection downwardly to guide the tongue into the slot until the projection clears the edge of the slot and said tongue springs up to establish engagement between the rear edge of the wedge-shaped projection and the adjacent surface of the flange to prevent withdrawal of the tongue through the slot and opening of the holder until the tongue is depressed so that the rear edge of the projection is free from the flange.
