11/20/11: Zillionz Counting Money Jar Product Review

My son loves to count his money and find out how much he has.  He is just like I was when I was a kid.  I remember having a little bank with a lock that I put all my change in to and I would keep a piece of paper that I would write my money on to keep track of it.  I wish I had the Zillionz Counting Money Jar when I was a kid as it elecronically counts and keeps track of your change.
 Here he is moving all of his money over in to the new counting jar.  As you put each coin in it shows the value of that coin and then shows the total of how much you have entered it total. One note, we did realize that it didn't know how to count a dollar coin. It actually counts it as a quarter. So we had to unscrew it to take that coin out and put in a quarter. There is also an option to reset to 0 but we didn't want to do that.
Here are some more details about it, and you can also check out the ZILLIONZ™ Toys Website to learn more.
"Still the Original COUNTING MONEY JAR that recognizes the value of each coin as you drop them in the slot. And the digital display stills shows your balance as it grows. But now we’ve added one more feature that no one else has—Balance Guard™.  It remembers your balance...even when replacing batteries!"
It is intended for ages 5 and up. 
Features
•COIN SLOT RECOGNIZES THE VALUE OF EACH COIN

 You can also go to the Zillionz website and learn 10 tips to become a Zillionaire.  The good thing is we turned this in to a learning experience.  Evan sorted all of his change for us to put it in to the counting money jar. 
 We entered it all!  Guess how much we had???
 $20.09 and still plenty of space to fit more money in.
This toy retails for $14.99.
