Abstract: An amusement device has a large transparent circular funnel element having a convexly flared inner wall and an outlet. A hemispherical reflector has a concentric opening and is disposed below and spaced apart from the funnel element with the outlet extending through the opening. The funnel element is supported by a circular container. A transparent hemispherical plastic dome covers the funnel element and includes a pair of coin chutes molded therein. A coin placed at the top of a chute and released is guided to roll down the chute to be tangentially injected through an opening in the dome to roll on edge around the funnel surface. The reflector causes the rolling coin to appear to be floating in air and produces a reflection of the coin. The coin will spiral downward and drop through the outlet. A gong is mounted below the outlet and is struck by the coin. The container includes a door in its sidewall for access to a coin collection tray disposed beneath the outlet.

Abstract: A flexible bag operable as a coin bank includes first and second sidewall members and a base portion. The sidewall members and base portion may be constructed from a flexible plastic material, such as a polyethylene plastic, which is capable of being heat-sealed. The flexible bag includes the plurality of edges, all of which are sealed to define an internal coin receiving chamber. Access to the chamber is provided by means of a coin slot, enabling coins to readily be placed into the bag, one at a time. Preferably the coin slot is sized to generally inhibit removal of large numbers of coins from the bag, without substantial difficulty. The flexible bag includes retaining means serving to keep the coin slot held substantially open for facilitating deposit of coins therein, at preferred times. The flexible bag bank may be constructed from materials sufficiently inexpensive and easy to cut open to facilitate complete destruction of the bank, when access to the coins is desired.
