My dad warned me that he was sending me this gift, but wouldn't say what it was, except that it was "completely useless." I totally disagree! Just yesterday, the washing machine in my neighborhood laundromat was spitting Canadian quarters back at me. They'd gotten mixed together with Yankee two-bit pieces in my quarter jar. Now I have the perfect receptacle for keeping them separate!
These banks are made in China, that hockey hotbed of the East. According to the instructions, "this moving mechanical bank is decorative and collectible and intended to amuse. Not all coins will be. [sic] deposited into the receptacle every tine. [sic] and not every size coin will fit." In other words, no Looneys.
I shoot, I score. I give this strange gift item two thumbs up.
