Claim 1

A snap-in thermoplastic lid for a container, said lid adaptable for coin feeding and comprising an annular base joined with a generally inverted U-shaped rim, said rim defined by generally vertically downwardly extending external and internal flanges of generally equal length traversed by a generally horizontal bight portion, said external flange including inclined stacking bosses located intermittently about its periphery, the degree of inclination of said stacking bosses from the generally vertical portion of said external flange being greater than the material thickness forming the external flange, a locating ring extending upwardly from the bight portion of the rim, a bead along the inside peripheral flange of the rim adjacent said annular base, and a generally horizontal leg extending outwardly from the bottom of said external flange a distance at least two times the material thickness of said flange to provide a more positive stack, said locating ring and bead cooperatively aligning a plurality of said lids stacked one on the other and whereby said horizontal leg prevents jamming of the lids even in the event said locating ring and bead fail to precisely align said lids.
