Can’t get money out
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
My son patiently put all of his money in there until it read $[...]. It is supposed to unlock the money at this point but it didn’t, and there is no other way to get the money out. When I called the company to ask for help they told me to smash the bank with a hammer! This is a terrible toy.

Uncle Sam Register Bank
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Just like the one I had when I was a child.

Fun to learn money and more fun saving money.

A great way to get a young child to save money.

A toy that is a wonderful way to share special moments with your child/grandchild.

Pass on some of your happy moments about this toy.

Today kid's need to learn that if they want something that they will enjoy it more if they save up the money and buy it themselves.

Second try was a charm!
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
Despite all the Uncle Sam imagery, this toy is made in China. So when it arrived, sure enough, the first quarter we put in jammed. We sent it back (at our own expense) and were promptly sent a new one that works fine. My 8-year-old daughter loves it (it’s her savings bank for her newly-offered allowance, so overall, we’re happy about the purchase. She doesn’t like all the modern techno-banks out there, and this one certainly has an old-fashioned feel. Too bad it isn’t made in the USA with reliable quality.

VERY DISAPPOINTING
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
A Christmas gift for my daughter and her 3 children (6-9) (purchased elsewhere). They faithfully put in coins, saving for a special treat. The kids loved to operate it and their mom loved that it taught them about money and about saving together.

After 3-1/2 weeks they'd saved $9.55 and were very excited that soon it would open. And then it jammed. Daughter contacted the company and they sent a replacement. That one jammed after even fewer coins were deposited. When daughter contacted the company again, she received no reply.

Considering what this bank costs, it's a very poor buy. My brother and I had one of the original ones, back in the 50's. It lasted for years. I feel like I wasted my money and my daughter and grandchildren were very disappointed. Much as we all loved the concept, I can't afford to try buying another.

I love this toy, I bought it for my 5 year old and he is suddenly “getting” how money adds up. Great for learning number values and great for getting kids excited about earning COINS for odd jobs around the house!

Perfect bank
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I had this same bank when I was a kid, and I’m in my late 50′s now. It was a perfect bank then and still is. It teaches children to save since between $ .25 and $10.00 it can’t be opened, and it locks again at $10.25. I gave it to my 8 year old nephew for Christmas and loved watching him get excited about saving for the first time. The screen tells him how much he has so he can see what progress he’s made toward his goal. I highly recommend this bank for any child. It makes saving fun.

Great Nostalgic Bank
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I had this bank as a child, and am glad to get one again to share with my children. It helps kids save, as it will only open when you hit the $10 mark.

FUN
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I had one of these growing up and enjoyed using it. It teaches you how to count money and to save.It was always fun to watch the numbers go up and then you could open up the bank and start all over again. I bought this one for my daughter hoping she enjoys it as much as I did.
