Looking After The Money

    Here are two toys, both around 25 years old, that will help you look after your money. Well, the coins at least.
    The first one is called the Robotic Banker, and is an early example of a robotic toy. Placing a coin in the slot closes a circuit, and starts the action. The robot arm swivels round, picks up the coin, moves to the left, and drops the coin in the slot. That's the robotic bit. But remember - the toy also had the word banker in the name. And this toy gives you financial advice as well! After the robot arm has dropped the coin in the slot, it presses a lever, which sets the possible answers spinning round and round, until it finds the right answer for your question. Tim asked the Robotic Banker if he should buy gold (although you cannot buy much gold with one penny of course) and the answer from the banker was... definitely!
    The second toy is a coin sorter. Place a coin in the slot at the top, and as it cascades down, the ingenious set of wheels and levers tip it first one way and then another, until somehow the coin ends up in the right slot at the bottom. The fact that the mechanism is on display is a major part of this toy's charm.

    I have a coin sorter that’s shaped like a piano. There’s a slot in the top, and the coin slides its way down some ramps until it reaches the right holder.

  • @cultist9591
    @cultist9591 Před 7 lety

    My grandpa and grandma had one of those 2nd ones. Every time I visited, I would ask to play with it. So my grandpa would give me whatever change he had in his pocket and hand me the coin bank. I would just let the coins sort into the bank for awhile. Of course opening it up and taking out all the coins to sort them all over again.

    I had that second one when I was a kid! It was slightly different on the inside though to accommodate American coins. After I put all my coins in I would take them all out just so I could watch them go through again

  • @kenholt3859
    @kenholt3859 Před 3 lety

    I actually had the last one - the coin sorter bank - when I was a kid in the late '70s. There must have been different versions as it worked with US coins. I'd totally forgotten about it, but it was pretty cool

    The coin sorter is actually a great representation of what's happening inside a vending machine, or pretty much anything that's coin operated. Using systems similar to this they find out what coin was inserted, and also reject bad coins - they may be too big, too small, too light or too heavy.
