From Coins to Bank Bags: The Story Behind VintageBanker.net
VintageBanker.net began with a coin collector’s passion, a fascination with the stories behind every coin, mint mark, and banking institution that shaped our economy. What started as a love for coins soon grew into a deeper appreciation for the history of banking itself, the tools, materials, and craftsmanship that made those coins part of everyday life.
We discovered that old banking items aren’t just functional they’re classy, well-crafted pieces of history. From soft leather teller pouches to sturdy canvas bank bags, each one reflects a time when trust, design, and precision mattered.
Preserving the History of Banking
At its heart, VintageBanker.net is a resource and archival site devoted to preserving and showcasing the artifacts of banking history. We catalog and feature items such as:
- Vintage bank money bags and deposit sacks
- Old teller coin purses and change pouches
- Bank-branded coin wrappers and paper rolls
- Rubber stamps, signage, and official stationery
- Vintage minting tools and relics

Each item tells a story — of small-town banks that powered local economies, of FDIC-insured institutions that built public trust, and of the artisans who designed these durable, everyday tools of finance.
