We picked up this little pair of vintage globe banks at a Brooklyn antique shop this weekend for $10 each. These banks are small- about 5″ tall and a good start to an inexpensive collection. Ebay has quite a few globe banks listed here. I love that they combine saving money and geography. Banks used to hand these sort of globes out to kids to promote saving, (presumably in the institution stated once the globe was packed with pennies). Our girls usually put extra change in our big glass jug by the front door. Maybe these globe banks will be the start of their savings to travel the world.
