THE E&T KOINTAINER COMPANY

Last week we reprinted a web posting by Donn Perlman where he wrote
"Thank goodness for 'Cointains.'"

Tom DeLorey writes: "The correct name is "Kointains," from the E&T
Kointainer Co., P.O. Box 103, Sidney, OH 45365.   I know because I
have been using Kointains for over 35 years, with great success,
and once had the opportunity to buy the company. It seemed that the
founder of the firm had sold it about four years earlier, and it
had been bought by a collector who gave it to his son as a means
for the son to work himself through college. The son had done so,
but now wanted to pursue his chosen career. As I was a long-term
customer, he wrote me and asked if I wanted to buy the company.

"Unfortunately I am not mechanically inclined, but had a friend
in the Shelby County Coin Club named Bern Nagengast who was an
applications engineer at a local company. I contacted him and
said that he should buy the company and keep it in business,
because I did not want the product to disappear. He contacted
the owner, bought the company and moved it to Sidney. I just
placed an order with him last week for use at the coin shop."

[Thanks for the great background information on this important
coin supply firm.  I met Bernard Nagengast once when he came to
a meeting of the Western Pennsylvania Numismatic Society.  He's
been quietly serving the hobby for decades.  -Editor]
