Closing coin wrappers typically involves one of two main methods: manually folding the ends or using a crimping tool.
- Prepare the wrapper: Ensure you have the correct wrapper for the coin denomination and that it’s open at both ends.
- Fill the wrapper: Carefully insert the correct number of coins for that denomination into the wrapper.
- Fold one end: Fold the paper up from the bottom of the wrapper to seal it securely, preventing coins from falling out.
- Fill completely: Continue adding coins until the wrapper is almost full, leaving enough paper at the top to fold over.
- Fold the other end: Fold down the remaining paper at the top to seal the roll completely. You can fold over one side and then the other to create a secure closure.
- Insert the wrapper: If using pre-formed wrappers with one crimped end, simply insert the open end of the wrapper into the crimping tool.
- Crimp the end: Hold the crimping tool and rotate the wrapper while applying pressure to create a rolled edge crimp, sealing the coins inside. This method creates a more professional, bank-sealed appearance.
- Check the seal: Ensure the crimp is firm and the coins are securely enclosed.
- If you’re using flat coin wrappers, you can make your own with paper and then tape or glue them to secure the ends.
- Some prefer to use a small piece of tape to reinforce the seal on manually folded wrappers.
- If rolling coins for a bank deposit, confirm with your bank if they have specific preferences for how the rolls should be closed.
