This vintage “Roll a Coin for Kids with Dystrophy” counter display comes from a 1960s fundraising campaign organized by the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). Legendary comedian Jerry Lewis, who served as the national chairman, helped popularize these donation boxes across retail stores, diners, pharmacies, and other public spaces during the decade.

Designed as an interactive charity piece, the plastic display features a built‑in slot and ramp that allowed donors to physically roll their coins into the collection bank — a fun and engaging way to encourage contributions. These displays were widely recognized during the era and became a memorable part of MDA’s early fundraising efforts.

Today, original 1960s Roll‑A‑Coin boxes are considered rare and highly sought‑after pieces of pop‑culture and charity memorabilia, valued by collectors of vintage advertising, fundraising history, and Jerry Lewis ephemera.
