Metal banks have been made since the late 1860s. The value of a bank today is determined not by age alone, but also by rarity and condition. Some banks of the 1900s are worth more than those made during the 1800s. Original paint is very important. There are mechanical banks, still banks, and registering banks. The “best” of the collectors’ banks are the mechanical types that move when a coin is inserted.
