How do I Open Coin Banks?

Coin banks were created in the 1950s in different shapes, like a book, in order to provide you with a safe place to keep your money. You could also put it out in the open without anyone knowing the difference between a real book and the book that was really a bank. You put your money through a slot on the bank and you can put bills and coins inside to be taken out when you want. Most types of coin banks are only able to be opened via a key.
