Anyone making any of these out there in woodworking land?? I bought a milk crate full of the doors at an estate sale and would love to turn them into something cool. They aren't real old. I think they're marked "1971" or around there. I've seen coin banks made from them, but can't find a good pattern. The best one I've seen was made like a safe; sorta' up on small feet like an older style western bank safe. It was even painted like a safe.
Rockler has free plans for a mail truck that uses them:
See if you can find a copy of the first issue of Woodcraft Magazine. That was their very first project, the one featured on the cover.

Hi Scott...
It's your lucky day. As Lee pointed out, making these banks was the cover story of our first issue. The entire article is posted here:
If you do make one, send me a hi-res photo, and if the photo's good enough for print, I'll put it in the "Show Off" gallery section of the magazine.
