Can anyone Remember the coin vortex Machine? 40 years ago?

used for profit, or for charity?

It was a clear "plastic bubble," about 3 feet in Diameter, with a clear VORTEX. You put your coin in at the top, and it went into the vortex, spinning faster and faster, until it dropped to the bottom.

If I had the "name" maybe I could GOOGLE it.

Thanks

That's the way I paid my mortgage off.
Any saved money went down the vortex and disappeared!

House took seven years to pay on a single income, instead of a lifetime, to be completely able to call it our own.
