Exquisite! There's lots more I could say, but I would probably wear out my thesaurus. 
Why do you need a lock? Any miscreant who got close enough to steal coins would just steal the whole box.

I'd steal the box and leave the coins behind to make it easier to carry.

I distinctly remember that article. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have gone and looked it up as a viable alternate method to achieving the results you got.

Would you believe that in all the hoopla I forgot to design in a mechanism for holding the door closed without the lock?
