Thanks! I do have a number of banks.....but the thing I'm looking for with all this is that it can't be a beer can....hence the category I kinda made up called "beer can'ts". ....the reason I drew the line excluding "real" cans, is because if you don't, it opens up a mind numbing world of bank cans where they just swap out the top on every can that was ever made and call it a "bank". There's no end to that. Also it opens up the world of the home hobbyist who cuts the tops off cans and fills them with wax to make candles, or those "diversion safes", or the bobbers/buoys made out of real cans, or the mugs made from real cans, or tap handles made from real cans etc etc etc. There are millions of things out there made of real cans and if I let them in, it would be an impossible collection to pursue. So, it seemed like a pretty clean line to draw to exclude the beer cant "wannabes". Also it kinda forces people making the cameras and radios and telephones and whatnot to licence their activities with the brewery....which gives the "can't" a little air of legitimacy, vs some guy in a garage with a can opener, tin snips, a tube of epoxy, and an idea to make money off ebay.

But....yea! Absolutely! I collect banks that aren't made out of beer can sheets. If you have some I would love to take a look. Here's what I already have:

Let me know if you have others!
