Abstract: A wrapper for wrapping a stack of coins is formed by a flat sheet of paper having first and second opposite edges generally parallel with each other, an adhesive applied to an area of the sheet of paper adjacent to at least one of the first edge or the second edge, and first and second score lines generally parallel with the first and second edges for facilitating folding of the sheet of paper. The first and second score lines are spaced such that when the first edge is folded over onto itself along the first score line and the second edge is folded over onto itself toward the first edge along the second score line, the first and second edges overlie and the sheet of paper adheres to itself in the area of the adhesive, thereby forming a sleeve, which when opened, has a diameter corresponding to a diameter of the stack of coins.
