<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 950319, member: 6444"]Neat idea! I just tried it, but the coins don't weigh enough to move the tongue, so they just bunch up and sit on the tongue in the back of the throat. If I lift the tip of the tongue up then the coins fall through and can't be reached anymore. They can of course be retrieved by unscrewing the base.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I guess it is possible, though not as automatic or well planned as the old cast iron banks I own, so I'm not sure??[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
