Finally after having this old bank I bought at a flea market for more than a year a successfully picked the lock! It contained a 1916 s dime, 1916, 1919x 2, 1920, 1925,1926,1935x2 wheat pennies. I bet the lock was lost in the 30s and its been sealed ever since because the 2 1935 pennies are AU. Too bad it didn't have any $5 gold pieces like there is a slot for!
