Holds money but prepare to count a lot

My 6 year old son and I are in the 'make coins by doing chores' phase (and learning to count money) so an electronic piggy bank seemed like a good idea. And it was. It's just not the 'drop it and forget it' experience that we were hoping for. The coin slot used a spring-loaded arm that slid sideways when a coin was inserted, and the bank used the distance it moved to determine which coin was inserted. The problem is that the spring is VERY tight and you don't insert the coins so much as you burn them through with force. Therefore, it is very easy for small hands to fail on the first try, registering many false positive coins. As a result, every week or so we have to recount hands and reset the counter to the top. Which isn't too bad, but the user interface could make it less boring (remember you have to keep pressing the minute button to reset the clock in the car). But technically it works and achieves the goals for which we wanted it. . And he gets the opportunity to participate in conversion, since it has its own value. Also, the sticker set that allowed him to personalize his bank was a big hit, so you can get bonus points for it.

Pros
