Il sistema di riempimento denominato ''coin filler'' in ambito anglosassone (che da noi potremmo chiamare ''a moneta'') è una variante del precedente sistema ''a  fiammifero'' in cui al posto di quest'ultimo si preme direttamente sulla barra di pressione utilizzando appunto una moneta o una medaglietta o oggetto similare, spesso di forma ellittica per consentire una minore larghezza della fessura praticata sul corpo penna.  Anche in questo caso infatti la pressione viene esercitata attraverso una apertura laterale praticata sul fusto della penna.

Gli inconvenienti sono sostanzialmente gli stessi del precedente caricamento ''a fiammifero'', leniti dal fatto che una moneta è un oggetto generalmente più comune e non occcorre essere fumatori. Le maggiori dimensioni della fessura sul corpo  rendeva però la penna meno elegante e più soggetta a problemi. Spesso la fessura è identificabile rispetto al caso di una penna a levetta in cui quest'ultima sia stata persa, dalla presenza di un ulteriore foro rotondo centrale di dimensioni leggermente superiori a quelli della fessura.

The drawbacks are substantially the same of the ''match-stick filler'', soothed from the fact that a coin is an object generally more common, and it is not necessary to be a smoker. The larger size of the slit on the body, however, made the pen less elegant and more prone to problems. Often the slit is identifiable with respect to the case of a toggle pen in which the latter has been lost, by the presence of an additional round central hole slightly larger than those of the slit.

Il sistema venne utilizzato dalla [[Waterman]] in alcuni modelli fra il 1913 ed il 1914, che venivano venduti forniti di una apposita moneta. La scarsa praticità del sistema ne portò alla dismissione in meno di un anno, cosa che rende queste penne (che talvolta possono essere confuse con modelli successivi a levetta, ma mancanti della stessa) piuttosto rare. Ma ancor più rare e molto ricercate dai collezionisti, sono le monete fornite insieme alla penna, dato che la maggior parte di queste andava persa.<noinclude>

But even rarer and much sought after by collectors, are the coins supplied with the pen, since most of them were lost.<noinclude>

Filling systems

The coin filler is a variant of the previous match-stick filler system in which instead of a match the user pushes directly on the pressure bar using a coin or a medal or similar object, often elliptical in shape to allow a smaller width of the slot made on the pen body. Also in this case, in fact, the pressure is exerted through a lateral opening made on the barrel of the pen.

The drawbacks are substantially the same of the match-stick filler, soothed from the fact that a coin is an object generally more common, and it is not necessary to be a smoker. The larger size of the slit on the body, however, made the pen less elegant and more prone to problems. Often the slit is identifiable with respect to the case of a toggle pen in which the latter has been lost, by the presence of an additional round central hole slightly larger than those of the slit.
