Big Belly Dinosaur Banks are coinivores

We'll admit that we're huge fans of piggy (or dinosaur) banks (check out the talking Piggy Bank), but we don't go about choosing which coin banks to carry all willy-nilly-like. There has to be a little something...dare I say...magical about the bank before we start trying to shove it down our customer's throats.

The Big Belly Bank Coinasaurus certainly fits the bill! It stands in at a little over a foot and a half tall (20" to be exact) and features a patented rail system for gobbling up quarters, nickels, dimes, and pennies with gusto. Kids will delight in watching each coin travel the curvy path from the dino's mouth to his big belly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Can the Big Belly Dinosaur Bank hold half-dollars, dollar bills, or treasury bills?

If those items are the same size and shape of a quarter, nickel, dime, or penny, then yes! The Big Belly Bank is not designed for "rail traffic" that is larger than a quarter. You can easily open the belly if you want to add dollar bills.

Question: How do I open the Dinosaur's big belly?

First, you'll need to purchase the Big Belly Bank Coinasaurus from Vat19.com. Once your shiny Vat19.com box arrives and you've opened the Triple-B-C (that's industry lingo for the Big Belly Bank Coinasaurus), you'll find that there is a long bolt that holds together the two sides of the clear belly. Unscrew that bolt to open 'er up.

Question: How do the coins stay in the track?

The track is grooved and can only accept coins in one orientation. When they reach the bottom of the Coinasaurus' track, they drop into the Dinosaur's big belly.

A: The Big Belly Bank is designed to eat American coins, the largest of which is a quarter. An American quarter has a diameter of 2.426 cm and is .175 cm thick. If the coins are equal to or smaller than those dimensions, then the Coinasaurus should be able to snack on them.

Q: Can it handle Canadian coins?
A: The largest US coin that the Big Belly Dinosaur Bank can swallow is a US quarter, which has a diameter of 2.426 centimeters. As long as your Canadian money is equal to or smaller than that (both in diameter and thickness), it should go down just fine.

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: will it enjoy a snack of UK coins?
A: We aren't familiar with UK coins, so we don't know for sure if the Coinasaurus would be able to eat them. It can eat coins up to the size of a U.S. quarter, which has a diameter of 2.426 centimeters. As long as the coins aren't any wider or thicker than a U.S. quarter, then this Big Belly Bank should be able to eat them.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: What if the Coinasaurus eats my quarter, but he chokes on it, and gets stuck in his throat??
A: If you are feeding the Coinasaurus U.S. pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters, it is unlikely that he will choke. If he does, you'll just have to help the coin go down!
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: is it possible to put dollar coins or 50 cent coins?
A: No, the Big Belly Coinasaurus only eats pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. You could, however, unscrew the belly bank and insert larger coins.
