Title: Coin-carrying and ejecting locket

Abstract: A coin carrying locket has a hollow compartment for the storage of at least one coin. A coin-receiving slot and a coin ejection slot are formed in a peripheral wall of the locket at spaced locations. A pair of springs are mounted within the locket. One of the springs biases the coin towards ejection from the ejection slot whereas the other spring prevents ejection of the coins and is pivotally mounted with a tab portion thereof extending through a wall of the locket for manipulation to permit the ejection of the coin.
