Unexpected find today!

I was going through a few boxes of collectibles from garage sailing in FL and came across this battery operated toy bank. It doesn't work but when I turned it over to insert the UM-2 ("C") batteries I heard what sounded like a coin moving around in the mechanical side inside of the coin collecting side. I told Melissa there's a good chance that if it is a coin it's probably a wheat cent or silver because the toy was probably made in 50-60s. I took it apart and a 57'D wheat cent fell out. I checked it again and heard another coin. This time it was a 63'D Roosevelt dime. Too bad the bank doesn't work. This is only the third silver coin I've found without a metal detector.
