I have had this little bank since I was two years old and he has never been completely full...until now. I'm so excited, I have to make this a public event. If you all will humor me, please.
I've been adding pennies (pennies only, no silver change) for the last 4 years. How many pennies do you think Pooh can hold? Send in your guesses and when I've got the pennies all rolled I will do the big reveal.
Seems like there ought to be a prize involved...I will pick out something nice at the farm market this weekend. |

Amie,
My sister in law gave my daughter one like that when she was a baby. It was a Christmas gift and she had to mail it because they were in NY and we were in Hawaii. Unfortunately it did not make the trip and we were never able to replace it. I think it's great you still have yours. I'll email you my guess.

What a cute little money box. Since Pooh is a Disney character, I might go with 101 pennies (just like Disneys' 101 dalmations). Really I wouldn't have a clue, as I don't know how big a penny is, nor do I know the size of the money box. Just having a fun guess.
Friends are the best collectables. |

Thanks for your guesses! Keep them coming! A couple of people have asked me the dimensions of the bank. I haven't measured, but he's approximately 12 (h) x 6 (w) inches. I put the book in the picture to give an idea of his size, but for that to work you need to know that it's a normal size book (not a child size or mini book).
I'm sure hoping that he turns out to hold closer to $31.02 than $2.87. But maybe I'm just being optimistic too. |

| OK. It looks like the winner is...sunshine, with $25.97. The actual amount was $26.29. I wasn't expecting it to be more than $15, so I am excited! I am saving up for a new camera and these penny rolls are going straight to the bank. And so now I know how many pennies Pooh will hold. Thanks for playing, everybody! Sunshine, send me your address and I will mail you a little prize. |
