Knex Rotating Coin Display

     Ever since I saw the rotating coin display at the coin shop I use to shop at, I've wanted to build one, out of Knex of course :-)
The rotating coin display is aprox.15"x 10"x 10". It holds 12 coins and could probably hold more if you make it longer. The version I built is much smaller than the actual one. That's because I'm using most of my Knex for another project. See the rotating coin display in action in the video below. 



I'd appreciate it if you would vote for it in the Rods and Connectors Contest.

Nice Ben Franklin half dollar. I'm a coin collector and a K'nex enthousiest!

[The Real Phil Swift]

Where do you get the motors?

[random_builder]

The rotating part is unnecessary, but the coin display is really good!

[hawk45]

yet two other knex builders and homeschooled Christian! :) XD

[ProtectTheAlphaWolf]

hey! I am one to! ;)??

I collect coins to my oldest is from 1845 and I just got a Morgan silver dollar

[knexinventions 49]

Cool!

[Chikpeas Brother]

Awesome! I'm a big coin collector too. :)

[KneXtreme]

Thanks. Finally, another person who collects coins :-) What's the oldest coin you have?

[Chikpeas Brother]

A Roman coin from A.D. 70. I'm not sure what it's called. My favorite is a 2-cent coin from 1858. What about you?
By the way, I'm also a homeschooled Christian. :-)

[KneXtreme]

Whoa! I don't have anything close to that. My oldest coin is a 1862 indian head penny. My favorite coin I have is a Jamestown 400th Anniversary uncirculated silver doller. What's your most valuable coin? Nice to see another homeschooled Christian :-)

[Chikpeas Brother]

My most valuable coin is probably one of my Morgan silver dollars. However, I have a medallion that's 3 1/2 oz. gold. That's obviously much more valuable. (The bank holds on to it) By the way, what belt are you?

[KneXtreme]

Red belt with tape. One rank away from black belt.

[Chikpeas Brother]

Cool! I'm quite familiar with taekwondo. (I've lived in Korea for the past 3 years) Ironically, I was always too busy with school to actually learn. :(

[Sorunome]

nice one! :)

[Verticees]

This reminds me of that display Wall-e had in his home!

[www139]

I was gonna say that! D-:

[KneXtreme]

Your right! I forgot about that :-)

[sandroknexmaster]

Nice! What is that other knex project that uses most of your pieces? :D

[KneXtreme]

Thanks. He, he, he :) It's a secret. Let's just say it's kind of like a cross between a roller coaster and a ball machine.
