Alignment-puzzle money box

Drop a coin through three turning layers that only let it fall when every hole lines up

A money box that has to be solved before it will take your money. The coin slot in the cap sits over three layers, each with a single coin hole in a different corner. Lift each layer, turn it a quarter, and put it back until all the holes stack up under the slot; get it right and the coin clatters all the way down into the bank. Get it wrong and it stops on a layer, rattling. To empty it, lift everything off.
