A coin wrapper,also referred to as a roll or bank roll,is basically a bag or wrapper for coins that are either stored in a coin vault or are in a collection. Coins which are in circulation and have not been withdrawn from the mint can be rolled in a coin wrapper to protect them from moisture,humidity and dust. In a coin container,coins may also be placed inside a coin box. Most people will know what a coin wrapper looks like. It looks like a large bag with a lid or can be found in the shape of a small pouch with the bottom of it slightly lower than the top of the coin container. The coin wrapper serves a dual purpose,it keeps dust and moisture out of the coin itself while also providing an outer covering for the coin. However,this is where the confusion occurs,there are two different types of coin wrappers.

Paper Wrapping – This is where the wrapper is made of paper. Most commonly paper wrappers are used when storing coins in a safe deposit box. Paper wraps are made of cardboard with a small hole cut at the top of the wrapper and a little hole at the bottom of the box. To put the coin into the paper wrap,the coin holder is attached to the top hole with a piece of tape. This is one of the most commonly used types of coin holders.

Plastic Coin Wrappers – There are a variety of different types of plastic wrappers that are used for storing coins in the home. Most plastic coin holders will be found in sizes ranging from a quarter to a half dollar. Many plastic coin holders are made with a lanyard or loop and a chain for attaching to a key chain. This type of holder is commonly used to store coins for home safety,security,or just for organization. These holders are also commonly used in coin lockers,coin cabinets,and coin cabinets. Coin lids are very important if you are looking to store coins in an organized fashion. You want to be able to see all of your coins easily when you need them and know that you have them all stored securely.
