Project Information
I saw a plan for this Magic Coin Bank in a Popular Woodworking magazine. I changed the dimensions to make it larger so I could add a talking module like the ones you get in greeting cards. The coin touches the contacts to trigger the voice when you insert a coin and push the drawer in.
This project started out to be an experiment. If it work out ok I was going to make two of these for our two little 6 years old Grandchildren Courtney and Chloe. After burning up my brain for a few days this is what I came up with. So I got one done and one more to make.
Video about the build
The wood is Mahogany and the dimensions are 7" W x 4 3/8" D x 5" H I use a button to make the knob, Supper glued a screw to the back, It's a perfect size for the tiny draw!
Link to hear it talk. It's my voice but I'm sure the Grandkids will want to change what it says. LOL!
