Here’s a smart coin jar. It counts your loose change for you!

Okay, so this jar is mainly made of plastic, but it’s still pretty ingenious. At the end of the day it's the perfect place to deposit those loose coins you’ve collected all day long. Check the easy-to-read LCD display as you drop in each coin. First it shows the value of the coin as it slips through the slot, and then it displays the total deposits in the jar. (Assuming you haven’t cheated and taken money out!) It’s a great way to get kids to save. Or to save a specific amount to buy something special. You can even make money from family and friends when you say: "It's fun to use! Do you have some loose change to put in? Try it!" When the jar is full, twist off the lid, empty out the coins and reset the coin counter to zero. It requires 2 AA batteries, which are not included. The jab is 8.45H x 5.25" diameter. And need I say it, “Coins not included!” Retail is $19.99, but I found it for $9.99 at the link below.
