Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought one of these for each of my 5 year old boys for Christmas this past year. They have been very well-received.
The lightweight plastic jars are probably about 1-quart in size, so they are nice and big. I don't understand why a previous reviewer referred to their small size. They are not small. They are plenty large, but not too large.
We haven't encountered any real problems with these. The boys are only 5, so sometimes they do slip in a non-real coin and it does get counted, usually as a quarter. Whatever. If we're concerned about the actual amount of money in the jar, the counter can easily be reset by taking out the batteries and putting them back in. Then, we just start over & don't put in the tokens that aren't real coins. It's not a big deal.
The boys really enjoy these banks. We have found them to be a nice alternative to a traditional piggy bank, or the like.
I would definitely recommend these as a gift idea. Not many kids you'd give them to would already have one.
Almost anyone would like this, I think.

Last year I bought 5 of these banks, the first from Highlights Magazine
for my husband and me to see if it actually worked, and then I found it on Amazon and bought four more for less money. My husband and I drop our coins in it--it works well for us and four grandsons ages 6 to 11. I think the product literature said this 7-inch bank holds about $30, but ours now has $40 in coins in it. It isn't an indestructible product--but it is a sturdy mason-type jar bank with a top of plastic that holds its own so it is serviceable. I see no reason to give it less than 5 stars. We haven't tried to reset the digital meter yet, so I can't say whether that will work or not. Good product.

I have a 4 and 6 year old that love to do odd jobs for change and they love their banks ! It keeps track of how much they have saved so they don't have to keep dumping their money out all over the floor to count it. This is not a flimsy mass produced bank. The only way it wouldn't last is if you have a child that doen't respect their toys.

It was good for a week, but than the slot that counts the money got jammed and now it won't count the money.

We were happy with this bank. It was just right for my 5 year old who asked for it and his big brothers thought it was cool too.

Big hit with great disappointment
This money counter was great for a short while, but the spring mechanism could not hold up to the use.

Our money jar broke after the first use. It's cheaply made and not worth the trouble. Its spring mechanism broke at the count of 76.00. Read more

Good Idea, Poor Manufacturing
It has a nice look and the kids do enjoy putting the money in it and watching the value go up and counting along with it. It is an enjoyable product. Read more
