I Wanna Buy - manual coin sorter/money box

earthmother

I'm looking for a manual coin sorting money box - the sort where you pop the coin into a slot, it goes down a couple of slopes and drops into the appropriate column.

I had one when I was a kid (it was blue, but you could get character ones too), so did a lot of others, but the closest I can find at the moment is this one at Play - http://www.play.com/Gadgets/Gadgets/4-/5486881/Coin-Sorter/Product.html?cm_mmc=Froogle-_-Gadgets-_-Boys+Toys-_-Coin%2BSorter&source=5067&engine=froogle_gagets&keyword=Coin+Sorter - but it doesn't have the all important zig-zag slopes

Has anyone come across any - DH thinks he saw one in a magazine or paper not that long ago, but can't find it now.

Most of the one that you can get these days ae motorised ones. Very good but obviously take batteries.

Had a Lakeland Christmas catalogue this morning and thought of you when I saw this.

7 yr old daughter got free manual one from Halifax when we opened an account for her.

Thank you all for your replies - none are quite what I'm looking for though

The sort I'm looking for is a sort of cross between the Lakeland ones (bottom half) and the Amazon ones (top half).

I think I'm just going to have to accept that they just aren't around any more (although I will check out Halifax just in case that's the right sort)
