The Electronic Money Jar counts your money for you, so you'll never have to wonder how much you have saved. As you slip your money into the automatic counter in the jar cap, it counts your money. Watch your money add up every time you put coins into the jar. Requires 2 "AA" batteries (not included). Measures 4.13" x 4.13" x 6.5". Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Award 2006.
Customer Reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: The count was wrong a few times. Comment: 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? Customer Rating: Summary: Sweet Comment: Good, plastic yet durable, fun, keeps track of saved coins, kids learn the value of a dollar (or quarter). All in all: good toy Customer Rating: Summary: A great way to save up your change Comment: Most reviews are from parents trying to teach their kids about money. But this is great even for adults. At the end of the day I come home and dump my spare change into the jar and see it grow right there in front of me. I'd recommend it for anyone wanting to save up for that shiny new video game, ipod, what have you. When I first got it the spring was a little stiff but 30 dollars worth of change later it moves no problem. Customer Rating: Summary: electronic money jar Comment: Cute idea. We bought it as a gift because we have one of a different manufacturer. Unfortunately, this one is smaller and less accurate in counting coins than our other one, so it's OK but not fabulous. Then again, it's cheaper and it fit our needs as a gift better. Customer Rating: Summary: Great fun for kids Comment: My son loves this bank. He likes to keep track of the money he has saved. It works very good. I have not checked how accurate it is but he says that as long as you push the coin all the way in it always counts it.
