The instructions sticker is on the bottom and is also in really good conditino and readable. You can insert nickels, dimes and quarters into this bank. Once you insert one of these coins, you pull the lever and it counts up how much you have saved -- it recognizes if you have put a nickel, dime or quarter in it. On the back there is a separate slot to insert coins that are not nickels, dimes or quarters. There is also a round slot where you can insert rolled up folding money. The bank drawer will only open once it has counted $10 worthy of a combination of nickels, dimes and quarters have been inserted. It will continue to count beyond $10, and will open each time $10 more dollars has been counted as being inserted. It has a maximum storage of $50, so once it counts up to $50 in nickels, dimes and quarters it will make you start over. It already has a small amount of change in it -- some of which I put in it to test it. :) It already had other change in it when I got it -- I have no idea how long ago the other change was put in it, or if something other than nickels, dimes and quarters have been put in there. It is made of metal and is heavy for its size. I have no idea what kind of mechanism(s) it uses to count the money, but that is probably a good amount of the weight. It measures about 4 1/2" wide, 5" deep and 6 1/2" tall. This metal bank was made by Western Stamping Corp. See less
