Annette,
Thank you for those ideas. I knew somewhat about coffee cans but have to
say, most of the coffee today is in those plastic "cans". I even know how to
make those cans with the wood around them for planters but did not think
about bank. I like the sound of the wooden boxes and have to look at that
when I get to the craft store again, will let you know if I try that good
idea. Thanks for this.

Terry K,

Here are 2 other options rather than the unavailable crayon bank.

Most craft stores (i.e. A.C.More & Michael's) sell wooden boxes of all
types.  Some have lids and others do not.  Some are tall like a container,
and others are low like a tray.  There might even be ones that have a slit
for a bank.  They can be painted, stained or have things like tiles, stones,
gems, wooden cut outs, fabric, etc. applied to them.  My daughter and I
decorated 2 of these for the purpose of collecting change.  One is in the
bedroom, and the other in the kitchen.  

Another option is a large coffee can.  Apply fabric to the outside.  Cut a
hole or slit in the plastic lid.  You can also cover the lid with fabric
that either matches the fabric on the side of the can, or is of a
complimentary color or pattern.  Don't forget to cut the same hole or slit
in the fabric covering the lid.  You might want to apply fabric to the
bottom of the can, or 3 or 4 rubber feet like you see on the bottom of
computers and other items.  These rubber feet might also be the ones you use
on the kitchen cabinet doors to soften the sound when they are closed.

HTH,
Annette

Just in case you don't find what you really want, I use a Tupperware
container that is round and has the round opening in the top to pour things
out. The round hole has a lid that goes on it. Admittedly, this is one of
the older versions of Tupperware, but you get the idea, and they are not
glass so do not break.

Can any of you help? I am looking for an older toy around for many years but
can no longer find it. Looked on Amazon already. It is a standing crayon
bank. It is about 2 or 3 foot high and is shaped like a crayon that is
cardboard with a plastic crayon top. Inside is a inexpensice coloring book
and some type of drawing suppiess. After you take the book things out you
use it as a bank, it had a slot in the plastic top to drop coins in. Can not
locate one. Any help out there. They do not make these standing banks
anymore that I can find. Found a Coke bake for $42 redulous. There were
these large bottle banks in soda bottles, liquor bottles and other types. My
husband and son are keeping their loose change in my glass, lidded candy
dishes and have broken 2 now and want my dishes back. I need help on this
guys. The dishes are worth more than the change.
