Coin Bank Furniture??? - Cool or Creepy??

Description: 14" x 14" x 60"
This coin bank is an attractive and unique replacement to the coin jar. Coins are dropped into the top and bounce chaotically off clear spacers on the way down. Coins can be released from the bottom when the custom lock is removed.

    Not as creepy as their "Screw Chair"

    imageQuid pro quo. Yes or no?
  • I would buy one, but does the coin get damaged in the drop?

    I like it! For my new office, I might purchase one. Thanks for the heads up.

    That would look awesome with a nice classic coin dropped in there every so often.
    Imagine the comments when someone saw a nice large copper or maybe a Trade dollar.
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"
  • I take one filled with gold eagles.

    Reminds me of a Pachinko Machine.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    Would go over well as a replacement to the "drop-your-coin-thru-water-onto-a-small-shelf-in-a-jar-for-charity" containers on McDonalds' counters!!image

    It looks like a shop class project with the open holes and poor quality welds.

    I went to the site but I can't get it to do anything except show the pictures. How much and how would you order?

    The screw chair is creepy.

    The coin bank is cool.

    A bit geeky, I thought at first, but on second look, I decided I like it.

    Hey, how many coin banks afford you the opportunity to view both the obverse and reverse of every coin inside them?

    Took a while for me to decide, but I like it, and I would want one, if we had any room here in our cluttered home. image

  • I think that would be a very interesting piece to own. Especially if you filled it up with a bunch of pre-1940's coinage it would be a great conversation piece for guests.

    Maybe it would look better with wooden legs and/or frame, or just a different base, instead of just those stark metal feet. I know of at least two forum members here who could do better... for a price.

    I agree with JRocco- you could slide a large cent or two and some circ Morgan dollars and maybe a low grade Bust half, just to jazz up the scene.

    Has anybody seen CoinAge magazine on the newsstand? I love some of their cover shots they do, with big piles of coins, modern pocket change mixing with old stuff in a variety of grades, copper, silver, clad, and gold together. I've bought the mag a time or two just because of the "coin porn" on the cover.
