Like many great toys of the past, penny banks are considered abstracts from real life. Here are still banks, those with no moving parts, and mechanical banks that flip coins into a receptor, chosen to illustrate the history of penny banks. There are banks made of cast iron, tin, pottery, wood, and pot metal in forms that include folk art, political events, and special places such as a World's Fair. The book presents over 250 color photographs of intriguing American banks arranged from the 18th century through the present. They are treasured toys to some and fascinating mechanical devices to others who cherish the advances made possible by new technologies and subjects. While toy collectors and dealers will enjoy the variety, bankers-and we all know a few of them-will appreciate the thrift these banks convey.

Penny Saved: Still and Mechanical Banks
So we all started to collect those state quarters 10 years ago, does it seem like it was that long ago?? We looked at what was on the backk of each one and sometimes we were like "cool" and other times we were like "what the heck is that and what does it have to do with Deleware anyway?" Well, for anyone who has ever wondered as we collet the final 5 states this year, this book is the one to read. It is a quick read since each state takes only about 3 pages, so it is easy to pick up and put down if you don't want to commit to it for too long. But, it will fill you in on what that thing is on the back of each coin, why it is important, what it means, why it was chosen over others, and what some of the other options were. I like to know how things work, so I really liked this one.
