		 The raised part on top is .200 tall (just under 1/4") and it 
		has a 15 degree angle as it meets the larger diameter. I also put a .060 
		radius on the outside diameter and on the angled surface. This way it 
		will be easier on little hands.

		 The bottom is held on with three 6-32 flathead screws 
		that are made out of stainless steel. And if you're wondering where the 
		bottom is, you're looking at it as it's made out of plexiglass. This was 
		so Aidan could see what's inside and check it out whenever he wanted to.

         Here is the personal touch that's on the top. The 
		letters are 3/8" high and because he loves trains, I worked around the 
		coin slot to give him something special. Speaking of the coin slot, if 
		you look close you can see it has a small chamfer (angle) around it so 
		the coins enter easier too. You can also see the 15 degree angle a 
		little better in this shot.

         Here you can see the bottom which sits in a recess that 
		is .010 deeper than the plexiglass. This is so whatever surface the bank 
		sits on shouldn't touch or scratch the plastic. At least that's the 
		plan.

        I also added a little something so he can remember what year it was made 
		in.

         You can see the countersinks for the screws in this shot 
		a little better. The only bad thing about using plastic for the bottom 
		is the potential of over-tightening the screws and cracking it. If that 
		were to ever happen, I could always make another one out of aluminum 
		which should last a lot longer. 
		This was a fun little project that I hope he'll enjoy 
		for years to come.
