Discovery Amazing Bank Counter

My son received this as a birthday gift a few years back and he still uses it to this day.

Basically it is a money bank to will count your coins for you as you drop them in. It will recognize if the coin in a penny, nickel, dime or quarter. As you drop in your coins it will add up the coins and you will be able to see how much is in the bank on the LCD display. This only recognizes US coins, so this will not work with coins from Canada or other countries.

It is a lightweight plastic, but very durable. It does get heavy once it starts to really fill up but it won't break or crack.

Now when my son received this I wasn't sure just how accurate it would be. So we just added all sorts of coins, months later it was full enough so we took it to our local bank. The LCD display said my son had $63.27 in there. The banker was also curious as to how accurate it would be. We were both surprise when the bank's sorter also came up with the same total of $63.27!

There have been times since then that it has been a few cents off, but sometimes if you put the coins in too quickly it won't register it. Not a big deal though to deal with.

I think this makes a great gift, even for adults. My son received this as a gift so I really don't know how much the person paid for it but I have seen it in the stores for around $15.00.
