3M AND "THE MONEY MACHINE" PULL TOGETHER TO DISPENSE HOLIDAY CHEER!

 
      Washington, Mich. – The innovative new patent pending “Money Machine™” cash dispenser from Michigan-based Unique Novelties is the exciting, interactive and fun way to give and receive money for any occasion. The Money Machine is a specially designed slotted box perfect for inserting and dispensing any amount or combination of currency, coupons and gift certificates, linked together end-to-end using 3M’s Scotch™ Brand Removable Tape

 
      The Money Machine™ is as much fun to give as it is to receive. "Pull the tab and watch the fun begin," says Dale Wells, Money Machine inventor, as he demonstrates his pride and joy. "We’ve eliminated the guilt associated with not having time to shop for a gift and just tossing money in a boring envelope," said Wells. "Watch as any child’s eyes light up when you hand them a Money Machine and they proceed to pull out dollar bill after dollar bill! Even a series of ten one’s will make them feel like a millionaire."
 

      The Money Machine is available at select Hallmark stores and for secure purchase on the Internet at www.themoneymachine.biz or by calling toll-free 1-800-894-0384. Money saving three-packs priced at $9.95 include three Money Machines and three rolls of 3M Scotch Brand Removable Tape. "When I approached 3M with the Money Machine idea and the prospect of including their Removable Tape, their response was enthusiastic," said Wells. "They told me it was an exciting, viable new application that could go a long way to promote consumer awareness and encourage more inventive uses of their innovative adhesive product."
 

      The Money Machine comes unassembled. Simply fold the box together at the top and bottom. Then tape bills together end-to-end using the 3M Scotch Brand Removable Tape. Roll the bills up loosely and place them in the box. Tape the pull-tab to the first bill and thread through the slot on the top of the Money Machine. It’s that simple. Now you’re ready to roll out the fun!
 

      Dale Wells can be called the "accidental inventor." A successful real estate developer by trade, Wells formed Unique Novelties to satisfy the kid in him and help market his new Money Machine. "I’ve given away money as gifts to my nieces and nephews for years and got bored with sticking cash or checks in an envelope and handing it to them," said Wells, "besides it never looked like much money or thought went into the gift. To make the experience more interesting and give the kids something to play with, I taped the bills together end-to-end and rolled them up. That’s how the Money Machine was born. I created the Money Machine box this past year to house the rolled bills so the kids would have something from which to pull the money out and a place to save it." One child, to whom Wells gave the Money Machine, went so far as to put the money back in and actually use it as a wallet to dispense money for purchases to the various store cashiers.
 

      "Our goal is to create a shortage of dollar bills," said Wells. "We want to make the Money Machine the standard for giving money for all occasions!"
