This review is from: SMARTLAB: Snap-Together - Coin Sorter (Paperback)

I'd give the coin sorter itself a "1", because of the cheap construction and constant malfunctioning. But, it came with a nice 50 States Coin Folder, so that brings the rating up.

The coin folder has sparked a desire within my kids to learn more about the history of the 50 states.
