- Summary
- "Money in the Bank details the extraordinary range of mechanical and non-mechanical toy banks assembled by Minnesota native Katherine Kierland Herberger, who discovered the pleasure they could bring after buying her son a mechanical bank for his birthday in 1948. More than fifty years and nearly 1,100 purchases later, she donated the collection to The Minneapolis Institute of Arts. All these banks are pictured in full color for the first time in this book."--BOOK JACKET.
