Digital Coin Bank

Does glow in the dark coin counter is so cool. I was really pleased with how easy it was to work and how easy it is to retrieve the money after it's been put in. If you're anything like me and you like to put dollar bills in with the extra change, the counter still would work for that, not the conventional way but it has a plus sign on it or you can add as well as a minus sign where you can subtract whatever you take out. It's really easy to use. Two Triple-A batteries go on the base of the lid. You need a screwdriver to open it so if you're giving this to a child, you don't have to worry about that as a huge hazard. The reset button is also on the face of the lid. You won't accidentally press it because it's deep set within the lid. To turn it on comma you either start inserting coins or you can press the plus or minus Keys down for 3 seconds. These Keys also Aid if your amount changes. If you add bills like I mentioned earlier, you can press the plus sign to get that amount in there or if you take money out, you can hit the minus sign and it goes down by one penny so you just press that as many times as the cents that you took out. The fact that it was just makes it that much more fun. It's an added night light in the house that requires no electrical energy, which is even better for the pennies being saved. It's really cool and I'm so glad we have it. I had no idea we had this much change in the house! I could definitely see this as a gift for anyone Kama as everyone uses money, and it's a lot of fun to use. I received this coin counter at a discounted price in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

Piggy bank was a hit! My 8 yr old daughter loves it. She loves how it counts her money and she can easily open it if she wishes. I find that she loves to re-count the money and that’s definitely a bonus. She has not bugged me about it once and that means it’s working great.

You will need a TINY screwdriver to add the (not-included) AAA batteries. As I was adding coins, I noticed the dimes were registering as pennies, so I did a few tests. Reset button works well. the Add/Subtract buttons: only press/hold the button you need to use. I added 21 dimes, and 3 registered as pennies, so keep an eye on your coins as you put them in the bank if you want an accurate tally. The mechanism that registers coin size is tight, so be prepared to go a little slow as you add your coins. A few minutes in the sun gave it enough charge to glow faintly, so I think if I left it outside or under light for the recommended 25m-1h, it would glow well.

This bank is made of a very sturdy clear and gray plastic. I know this is probably for kids but I purchased it for myself. It’s fun. I think this would be great for children. They have two visuals. They can put a coin in through the lid and I think it counts the coins by size. It has a digital readout that tells you how much money you have saved. This is a great feature because it has a memory. More importantly, children can watch their savings grow because the jar is clear. Very nice product!

I'm giving it a 3 star because it's good enough. It is quite difficult to shove each coin into the bank. If you don't push the coin all the way in the first time, it counts the value and you must delete that amount before you continue. Children are mostly unable to insert the coins (5-7) year old grandsons in my experience without them miscounting and the 5 year old could not insert the quarters himself. It barely glows and the color is nothing like the description photo. That being said: In a total of $75.00 of coins it miscounted it to be $75.90. In my daughter's words, it;s a 'piggy bank' if it's close that's "good enough".

UPDATE 6-20-2016: Filltech read my review and reached out to me to make things right. I really appreciated that! They sent a replacement bank free of charge as the one I received was defective and wouldn't count coins right. The replacement is 100% working and is not as hard to insert the coins. It counts them as fast as you can put them in and it gets the pennies and dimes right every time. I recommend this bank and seller because if it's defective, they will make it right! I had somewhat high hopes for this coin bank, but it's not 100% accurate. It's main problem is distinguishing between dimes and pennies. As far as I can tell it has a lever that is supposed to detect the size of the coin and add that denomination to the total. It doesn't always work. Dimes and pennies get miscounted no matter how slow or fast you put them in. I put in $2 worth pennies and the count was $2.64 because of it counting some of the pennies as dimes. I corrected the count, then added some dimes, which at least four of them were counted as pennies. I think it's overpriced for this reason. If it kept a better count and the jar was glass and came with batteries....then it would be worth $18. As it stands now it's maybe a $5 bank. It might be alright for some people and I like the design and size of it, but probably will pass on buying it again.

Ought as Xmas gifts for my niece and nephew. When they heard how much they could save in coins AND could see how much they’ve collected, they were excited, saying they were going to be rich! Lol. Great to help kids learn to save, math, and patience.

My daughter has been using a jar for her piggy bank , so I was excited to find this , since it can keep track of how much it is , instead of her having to go to grocery store and use coinstar machine. She opened it up , put batteries in , and tested it with a couple coins and it worked. She went to her bed room to grab her jar of coins and start loading them and it stopped working , the display was blank as if it was off or batteries were dead, tried replacing with three sets of new batteries and still nothing, tried hitting the reset button , nothing. Was very disappointed , and the quality of this was absolute garbage, looks like it cost less then a dollar to make. Made in China , not surprised. I recommend everyone to stay away from it. I even emailed the vendor direct and let them know what was going on, the email was on a piece of paper that came with it , saying they stand by there product and if I have difficulties I can emai them. I got no response , it’s been 4 days now. If there is another piggy bank I can find that counts I’ll be trying that , and I recommend others do the same and skip this one.

My kids love this they love knowing how much they save up only issue is when u put a toonie in it will show up as a dollar

Its bigger than i expected. Easy to use. The only thing i dont like is that sometimes dimes and nickels don't count properly. So you put a dime in and it counts at a penny. Made a great gift for my husband since his change ends up all over the house!

Plastic is very thin. I got a clear one instead of the blue shade in the picture.

Wasn’t happy as description did not state it was for US currency.
