Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Watch the Sort-A-Saurus' mouth as you drop your coins into the hopper. The tongue actually makes an appearance each time the crank is turned. The coins march up and over the dinosaur's back as the coins are sorted, and each denomination drops into one of the dinosaur's four legs.

My son received this as a gift. He absolutely loved it, but it broke wihtin a few weeks of use. First the actual sorting stopped functioing properly and then the handle used to turn the crank broke off and all was lost. We had to throw it in the trash.

This review is from: Magnif Sort-A-Saurus Coin Sorter (Toy)

My son just recieved this toy for his 5th birthday so I cannot comment on durability over time. However, so far it has been a lot of fun. The coins have all gotten to the right legs and it has worked well despite the fact that yours truly had to assemble it from scratch. It does seem somewhat fragile- if a coin gets stuck a good whap on the table is likely to force the sortasaurus into extinction. A gentle shake moves everything back into place. Overall I am pretty happy with the toy. I looked for a sorting bank because he really really wanted one and for what I found on the market this has worked well.

I thought it would take my change to save but instead it took my change away from me as the only way to get it is to break the darn thing. We put it together following the instructions but it has broken so many times that we spend more time fixing it than playing with it. Save your money! Don't spend it on this! It is really just a piece of junk!
