  • Patent number: 5176238
    Abstract: A coin collection device for charity comprises a generally upright body having a transparent front surface through which a track can be observed running from a coin feed slot at the top to a collection box at the bottom. The track divides into two branches at an intersection designed with a ramp so that coins approaching the intersection will normally jump a first branch and enter the other branch. An obstacle causes larger coins to divert into the first branch. Downstream of the intersection both branches are convoluted and intersect at least once for amusement value.
