My Tin Money Box 1950's
My Tin Money Box 1950's
I remember quite fondly my money box
Just starting my life out at school
Tin, no way in I could borrow
Thrift acquired young was the rule
My passbook (from bank) it recorded
The money I'd saved in my tin
Collected each week by the teller
Riding his bike all way in (Friday if I remember...)
There he would bring out his can opener
Pennies would all tumble out
Passbook would then be recorded and stamped
And that's what school banking was about (in the 1950's...)
And he'd give me a new one in the shape of the Savings Bank of South Australia headquarters King William St......

The matter of fact tones from another age are fondly remembered.I remember a money box once owned - in the style of a UK street
post box; red, of course, with the letter slot taking the coins.
