Brief History of Mechanical Banks—These Banks were produced from about 1869 until the start of World War II. "The first known patent for a mechanical bank was issued to James Serrill on February 16, 1869, for a disappearing coin bank made of wood. It is still known as "Bureau, Serrill Patent. Just ten months later John Hall of Watertown, MA was given a patent for his "Hall's Excelsior Bank." It is accepted as the first cast iron mechanical bank."1
