These banks, as the others, were given out at banking institutions when new accounts were opened, with the gold versions given for new premium accounts. There's a round base at the bottom of this bank; on top of the base is the rocket, with a baseball-sized moon on the top. Push the latch on the left side of the rocket all the way down until it clicks into place, press the button on the base, and the latch will snap upward, throwing a coin into the moon. The mechanical action on this bank works perfectly. The latch is strong and fires as it should. Discoloration to gold and missing orginal key. less
