Title: Roulette savings box

Abstract: A coin box has an upper structure serving as a coin chute for receiving coins and passing them to the lower box. Within the coin chute structure is a paddle wheel arrangement mounted for rotation about a horizontal axis spaced off-center of the chute portion through which a coin passes. A dropping coin strikes one of the vanes of the paddle wheel to rotate the wheel. A front face of this paddle wheel includes numerals about its periphery, visible through a window in the chute structure, such that each time a coin is received, the wheel will be rotated and come to rest in a random position.
