The battery is connected to the motor through the terminals on the arm. Because the terminals are not touching each other, the circuit is
broken so no electricity flows. When you put a coin on the terminals the circuit is completed by the metal of the coin. The motor switches
on, operating the mechanism that lifts the arm. As soon as the coin slides off the terminals the circuit is broken again and the motor
stops.
If the motor does not run:
• check that you have a fresh battery and that the battery is inserted into the battery holder the correct way round
• check that you have made the correct connections at the terminal blocks (see section D, steps 4, 5 and 9)
• check that the bare metal of all the wires is in contact with the metal terminals
• check if the coin is touching both metal eyelets, slightly press the coin to check if the motor is turning.
• Your Money Bank Robot is a type of moneybox called a mechanical bank.
• Mechanical banks were very popular in Victorian times. They were fun moneyboxes that encouraged children to save their money.
• The Money Box Museum in Amsterdam in the Netherlands has a collection of more than 12,000 moneyboxes.
• It’s rare to find a very old money box because they had no holes in bottom and so had to be smashed to get the money out.
• Moneyboxes were originally called ‘piggy banks’ because hundreds of years ago jars used for storing money were made from type of
orange-coloured clay called pygg.
• Many piggy banks are now shaped like pigs.
• Coins are made from metals. Normally the metals are mixed together to make materials called alloys that are more hardwearing than
the individual metals on their own.
• All metals are good conductors of electricity. That means that electricity flows through them easily.
