FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates, in general, to a coin holder, and, more specifically the present invention relates to a relatively compact coin holder which has separate compartments for quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] There are a variety of coin holders that have been developed through the years. Some are designed for storage of coins by the typical person wanting a place to put coins rather than having them on a top of a dresser while others are designed for coins that would be stored by a coin collector. [0003] Seider in U.S. Pat. No. 5,366,069 describes a universal and interchangeable coin storage system in which coins are stored in modular racks. [0004] Iverson in U.S. Pat. No. 4,479,502 describes a coin holding device for domestic use having several tubes each adapted to contain coins of particular denomination and a stand for removable supporting the tubes in an upright position. [0005] Strongwater in D 283,938 shows a design of a coin holder in which there are four compartments and in which the entire unit has a zipper closure. [0006] Since none of the prior art meet the needs of the everyday person and his needs for coin storing it would be advantageous if there were a compact coin storing device that would store all of the common coins and not be cumbersome. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0007] Thus, the present invention provides an apparatus for storing coins. The apparatus comprises an elongated member having a predetermined shape. There is a first substantially cylindrical cavity having a first predetermined diameter formed in the elongated member, such first substantially cylindrical cavity is terminated at a first predetermined depth in the elongated member. There is a second substantially cylindrical cavity having a second predetermined diameter formed in the elongated member in at least one of an axially aligned position to the first substantially cylindrical cavity and beside the first substantially cylindrical cavity of the elongated member, the second substantially cylindrical cavity terminating at a second predetermined depth in the elongated member and at least one closure member engageable with the elongated member for closing an opening to such first and such second substantially cylindrical cavity. OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION [0008] It is, therefore, one of the primary objects of the present invention to provide a coin holder in which coins are stored from opposite ends of an elongated member. [0009] Another object of the present invention is to provide a coin holder than can store quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies separately in the same holder. [0010] Still another object of the present invention is to provide a coin holder which has a sliding closure member to prevent the coins from falling out. [0011] Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a coin holder that is made of plastic. [0012] Another object of the present invention is to provide a coin holder that is inexpensive to manufacture. [0013] These and various other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent after a full reading of the following detailed description, particularly, when read in conjunction with the attached drawings as described below and the appended claims. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0014] FIG. 1 is a partial perspective view of such coin holder according to an embodiment of the present invention [0015] FIG. 2 is a partial perspective view of such coin holder shown in FIG. 1 showing the closure members. [0016] FIG. 3 is a left side view of such coin holder shown in FIG. 1. [0017] FIG. 4 is a right side view of such coin holder shown in FIG. 1. [0018] FIG. 5 is a top view of the closure member showing the thumb grips. [0019] FIG. 6 is bottom view of the closure member showing raised locking tabs. Continue reading about Coin holder...
