Title: Coin toy

Abstract: A coin toy is disclosed wherein a replica of a large mouth and a tongue are mechanically actuated to receive a coin tossed by a coin holding lever, which is manually set. The mechanism provides for a suction cup attached to a coin holding lever, both of which are mounted on a spring loadedactuation plate. When the coin holding lever is manually depressed and set, the suction cup holds to a fixed attraction plate until spring loading forces overcome the suction forces and cause the coin holding arm and the actuation plate to rapidly return to their upward positions. The rapid returning of the plate and the coin holding lever causes the mouth to open, and the tongue to extend therefrom to receive a coin which is thrown from the coin holding lever.
