Most dog coin banks are made from plastic; some are produced in stoneware.
Typical sizes range roughly from 6.5 to 10 inches in height, about 4.5 to 7 inches in width, and about 4.5 to 10 inches in depth.
Many interactive dog banks are battery powered (commonly requiring 2 AA batteries). They move a tray or make realistic motions to "munch" coins and then store the change inside the bank.
Battery-operated dog banks typically accept most common coin sizes. Some stoneware money jars list the bill and coin denominations they accommodate—for example, common bills ranging from $1 to $100 and coins such as $1, $0.25, $0.10, $0.05 and $0.01.
Options include interactive plastic robotic puppy banks in different color combinations (for example, Black/White and White/Brown) and decorative stoneware money jars with glossy ombre glazes and sentiments like “Spoiled Dog Fund.”
Some stoneware jars include a removable dog bone charm on a short metal chain. Several interactive banks require 2 AA batteries (not included).
