1. A coin bag support for a coin receiving and processing machine to facilitate removal and replacement of coin bags from the machine, the coin bag support comprising:
- a tube having an upper end for receiving coins and a lower end for discharging coins;
a bag support member on the lower end of the tube and a bag retaining device;
the bag support member comprising a bag gripping portion and an enlarged portion on the lower end of the tube, the bag gripping portion and the enlarged portion configured to fit into the mouth of a coin bag;
the bag retaining device comprising a “
U”
shaped body configured to receive the bag gripping portion with a predefined clearance when no bag is present, the clearance such that the body presses a bag fit over the bag gripping portion against the bag fitting portion to retain the bag on the bag support member, the enlarged portion resisting downward motion of the bag retaining device when the gripping portion is received in the body.

Abstract
A coin processing machine for sorting or verifying coins discharges coins through one or more coin tubes and includes a disk mounted on a drive shaft by a nut threaded on the shaft. Each coin tube includes a coin bag support with a non-flexible bracket that presses the bag against the support. A high-friction washer is located between the nut and disk to resist loosening of the nut during machine operation.
