Vintage Oversized Buffalo Nickel Bank

Vintage Oversized Buffalo Nickel Bank

$295.00

An oversized stack of Buffalo Nickels, cast in solid zinc, cool to the touch and satisfyingly weighty in the hand. Industrial metal elevates humble pocket change into something sculptural, graphic, a little bit brazen. Look closer and the illusion sharpens: both sides faithfully reproduce a 1926 U.S. Buffalo Nickel, the stoic Native American profile on one face, the muscular American bison on the other, blown up to heroic scale.

A narrow slit along the edge gives it away. This monument to loose change is a bank. Twist the top and it opens with a quiet, mechanical confidence. Inside, stamped 1975, a small time capsule from an era that loved bold statements and clever design.

On a desk, it feels witty. On a bookshelf, subversive. It is Americana reimagined in metal, equal parts nostalgia and swagger.

Go ahead, save your coins. Or better yet, display your instincts.
