Slide Bank

Rest your coin against the square, release it, and watch it slide into the coin bank. These are great for class fundraisers, as they can be left next to the cashier's station at your local store. Put your fundraising message on a printed card glued to the side or top of the can.

Unlike other banks, you have to "break your bank" to get the bills and coins out, which makes it secure. Obviously, you'll want to drain the can from a small, secret hole near the bottom -- leaving the top intact. The coinslide can be moved from can to can, so it's permanent even though the bank is disposable.

Use a pushpin to punch starter holes in the screw-holes, then screw-in small wood screws to lock the Form in place, then punch out your slot with pushpins and/or a scissor blade, then substitute the real slide for the Form using the same screws. Simple.

In the photo above, I've used hanger screws since I didn't have a screwdriver handy, but ordinary screws work just fine. More details are available at Aluminoids.com under the Designs page.

The STL files for the Coin Slide and the Form are attached below.
