The story of Ka-Ching Candy Register

Ka-Ching Candy Register turned every kid into a tiny shopkeeper. Punch in any price, slam the big total key, and the drawer shot open with a bell and a row of pressed fruit coins. Refill rolls came wrapped like real coin rolls, and older brothers tried to spend them at the arcade at least once.

Fun fact

The drawer sprang open so hard that most registers were missing at least three candy coins under the couch cushions.
