Don't be a pig with your power usage

Huh? How many coins do you put in the thing? And if it's full, how do you get them out? And what about the coins shorting out the power?

I think that this is a VERY BAD idea! The last thing we need to teach a 5 year old is to stick metal coins in slots to get electricity! Imagine a kid who has this and then applies that logic to a standard wall socket...Armed with a fist full of dimes, or other metal items, he/she proceeds to shove them into the wall outlet...You say this won't ever happen? Talk to VCR repair people about the weird things they pulled out of VCR tape slots! Children love to stick things into other things...

And besides....This doesn't teach the kid about conserving...if anything, it teaches the kid that if you have the money, you can use up all the electricity you want! That's not a very eco-sensitive thing to teach your kid!
