=======================================================================
In contrary to common savings banks, this one has NO "CHEAT EXIT" !!!
NO Key-Door, NO Twist-Lid, NO Rubber-Stopper, ...
After 25 Cents are in and the lever is pulled to count the actual
amount, the FRONT DOOR IS LOCKED until the saving has reached
10 Dollar and the counter is showing 00 : 00 again ...
On the back side are (1st) a round opening for "PAPER MONEY" and
(2nd) a larger slot for BIGGER COINS ( 50 Cents or SilverDollars ).
This gave Mom & Dad, GrandMa & -Pa ... options for secrete donations.
