3.0 out of 5 stars I'd rather pocket the $25 and make my own bank... January 22, 2010

This is a nice and attractive bank, but it's just tin, and in retrospect, since I shopped for this item in an attempt to help my son save and manage his money, a wiser move would have been to save the $25 and create our own bank using empty cans or jars. You could decorate three cans or jars with felt or fabric and they would do the job just as nicely. At 5 my son could care less if the money were kept in a fancy or man-made bank, but he would've had fun creating his own bank and I would've felt a little less guilty not having spent $25 + shipping and handling on this. The plus is that the 3 sections fit together nicely and thus do not take up much space. I'd give this a higher rating (for the value) if it cost $10 less.

I bought four Moonjar Classic Moneybox Retro Tins. One for each of my sons, ages 10,8,6, and 3. Now it is easy to keep track of their money. One bank is for spending, one is for tithing, and one is for long-term savings. When we "get around to it" we can donate the tithing, and deposit the long-term savings in the bank periodically. They always know how much they have to spend. We have thought about writing little notes and keeping them in the spend bank to remind them what toy they are saving up for. These Moonjar retro tin banks really are made out of tin, with the plastic lid that snaps securely on top. The rubber band that wraps around the three of them is sturdy and easy to use. One of the banks got dropped on the tile floor, tin-side-down, and nothing happened to it, it's still as good as new. I would still be careful, none-the-less. I wouldn't want to drop the bank plastic-lid-side-down on the tile, even though the lids are very sturdy as well. Everything breaks on tile. But these banks should last for years to come with proper care. I love them.
