Abstract

A flexible bag operable as a coin bank includes first and second sidewall members and a base portion. The sidewall members and base portion may be constructed from a flexible plastic material, such as a polyethylene plastic, which is capable of being heat-sealed. The flexible bag includes the plurality of edges, all of which are sealed to define an internal coin receiving chamber. Access to the chamber is provided by means of a coin slot, enabling coins to readily be placed into the bag, one at a time. Preferably the coin slot is sized to generally inhibit removal of large numbers of coins from the bag, without substantial difficulty. The flexible bag includes retaining means serving to keep the coin slot held substantially open for facilitating deposit of coins therein, at preferred times. The flexible bag bank may be constructed from materials sufficiently inexpensive and easy to cut open to facilitate complete destruction of the bank, when access to the coins is desired.
