Washington, Mich. - In consumer poll after poll, cold, hard cash tops the list when it comes to wedding gift desires. The innovative patent pending "Money Machine™" cash dispenser from Michigan-based Unique Novelties offers a new and novel way to give and receive money for weddings and any occasion where money is given. 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, included with each purchase.

According to WeddingChannel.com: "the gifts you really want don't come in giant boxes with big white bows, but rather in slim envelopes." Peggy Post, director of The Emily Post Institute, says: "monetary gifts are appropriate for a variety of wedding-related, gift-giving occasions, including bridal showers and weddings." Why then do statistics show that in the United States the gift of money and the desire for the gift of money have not matched up? That was the question posed by Dale Wells, the Money Machine inventor, who vowed to find a clever way to reduce the gap and give the most wanted but often neglected gift. "Perhaps giving money in a boring envelope, predictable card or traditional money-holder seems clichéd and uninspired, or worse, an easy out," Wells mused. "The Money Machine was created as the only novel alternative…finally, giving money is as much fun as getting it!"

The Money Machine is available at select Hallmark and better stationery stores across the country and retails for $4.95, which includes a roll of Scotch Brand Removable Tape. Money saving three-packs priced at $9.95 include three Money Machines and three rolls of 3M Scotch Brand Removable Tape are available on the web for secure purchase at http://www.themoneymachine.biz or by calling TOLL-FREE 1-800-894-0384.

The Money Machine comes unassembled. Simply fold the box together at the top and bottom. Then tape the money 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. "Pull the tab and watch the fun begin," said Wells, as he demonstrates his idea of gift-wrap for money. "Just watch the recipient's eyes light up when you hand them a Money Machine and they proceed to pull out bill after bill!"

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. "Ten years ago or so when gift bags were introduced as an alternative to gift-wrap, who would have thought they would become so widely used and accepted," said Wells. "The Money Machine is no different. My goal is to make the Money Machine the standard for giving money for all occasions!"
