Was is embossed with the bank name and a picture? We had them in red green and blue. Before those we had the 'tank' which was a great heavy lump of a thing with a handle on top and it went kerplunk when you put money in.

In later years they brought out plastic ones, one shaped like a globe, one like a TivvyTroll (male and female versions). We had different keys to fit the different ones and they were all on a bunch behind the counter. Woe betide anyone who didn't put them back after using them to open a home safe!
