Abstract: A coin bank comprises a vehicle movable horizontally along an appreciable portion of the length of a support base, the vehicle having a coin-receiving slot in the top thereof. The vehicle interior has a pivotably mounted coin-receiving member which receives a coin, preferably vertically oriented, inserted through this slot. When this vehicle is moved to one extreme end of the path of travel of the vehicle, the coin-receiving member in the vehicle engages a cam surface which pivots the same at right angles to the direction of movement of the vehicle, to throw the coin into a preferably vertical slot in a vertical wall behind the vehicle. Preferably, the vertical coin slot-containing portion of the vertical wall is depicted as a teller's station in a bank. A roof-forming wall overlies the support base at the bank teller's station so that a coin cannot be placed in the top of the vehicle thereat. The coin slot in the vehicle is uncovered when it is at the opposite end of the support base.
