ABSTRACT:
A device for collecting and playing with coins or the like includes a base in the form of an upward and inward sloping hollow pedestal having a generally flat bottom and a circular upper end concentric with and of substantially lesser cross-sectional area than the bottom. An open top main body, having a vertically extending circular upper rim and a circular downwardly and inwardly formed surface portion, extends from said rim to a lower aperture concentric with the rim and merging with the upper end of the pedestal, whereby the main body is supported on the pedestal along a common vertical centerline. A launching ramp is removably mounted on the rim and curves upward and inward over the main body toward the vertical centerline. The ramp has a downwardly and outwardly formed guiding surface arranged to cause disc-like objects placed thereon to roll onto the surface of the main body inside the rim and through a helical path of decreasing radius through the aperture and into the base. The portion of the main body above the base is in the nature of a stem which can be grasped to maneuver the device.
