Now you’ve got a tube full of coins. It’s leaning, maybe crying for help. This is where most people give up and throw the whole thing in a sock. Don’t be that person.
Take one end of the paper roll. You’ll see little pre-made flaps. Pinch them together like you’re closing a tiny pizza box. Pinch hard. Then fold them down toward the center.

Still holding it? Good. Now do the other end. But here’s the secret sauce: don’t let the coins move. If they shift, you’re in for a world of frustration. Keep your thumb on the coins while you fold. Yes, it’s a two-handed dance.
The "Tuck and Squish" Method
Okay, so the flaps aren’t cooperating. They’re floppy, loose, or just plain rude. Try the “Tuck and Squish.” Pull the paper tight around the coin stack, then tuck the excess paper into the gaps. It sounds insane, but it works.
You can also use a dab of tape. Is that cheating? Maybe. But I won’t tell the bank teller if you don’t. A tiny piece of Scotch tape on the seam is pure magic.
Just don’t tape the whole roll like a mummy. That’s overkill, and it makes opening it a nightmare for everyone.
