 Electronic money jar January 6, 2009
Kathleen D. Burningham (St. George, Utah)
Out of the four I ordered there was one that didn't work correctly. The digitial readout was unclear. Otherwise it is a good product.
 not really accurate. January 4, 2009

pretty small about the size of a medium sandwich spread jar. the slot that the coins go threw is ok but the spring loaded sensor make it hard to just drop and count. instead you have to push it in and it count according to the coin size. but since the spring is pretty strong if you don't push the coin all the way in and it pops out it will be mistaken as a dime or nickle. hence the count is off.

I bought this for my 7 year old son for Christmas. Since he has been learning about money, I thought it would be fun for him. It has only been frustrating. It repeatedly counts dimes as pennies, causing us to reset the bank and try again. Just to find it continues to count the money inaccurately. Not a good learning tool, if it doesn't count the money accurately! My son loves playing with the bank, so I will return it and purchase a more trustworthy bank!
Doesn't count money very well... December 26, 2008

Had I known the faults of this product, I wouldn't have purchased it. I saw this product on sale in an ad and rushed out with the purpose of buying one for every grandkid because it looked fun. Only one was left which I'm extremely thankful for now!
You really have to force coins into the slot due to a really strong spring inside. This causes coins to pop back out yet they've been counted. It also has a hard time telling pennies and dimes. Five dimes can go in and only be counted as $0.05.
We were unable to find an on/off button. We theorized that maybe it turns off automatically like some calculators do. The end result, it stays on 24/7. I have no idea how long the batteries would last.
It's cute to look at but I imagine kids might find it frustrating when the counter doesn't add up right. I would suggest looking for another bank and skip this one.
The count was wrong a few times. November 17, 2008

We bought this for my 6 yr old son, who loves collecting pennies and watching his money grow [a young investor maybe?]. Anyhow, the first couple of times we filled it up and took it to coin star, the count was off by about 5 bucks. I chalked it up to my son possibly opening it up, or maybe some of the coins didn't register. Then a few times later, I had a few quarters in there, and I could see how much was in the jar, and the count on the top didn't match that.
maybe mine was just defective?
