Money burned a hole in my pocket or hand when I was little I sucked at saving. But that didn't keep me from talking my parents into buying me several different banks over the years. This is like one of the ones I owned and I totally dug it because I could have gum anytime I wanted. I have to confess though, that I didn't always put my coin in before getting the gum. As owner of the bank, I often made an executive decision to just open it up from the bottom and get the gum out without plugging in my penny. So I didn't save much money but I sure enjoyed the gum!
