We saved kids deposits (real money) and we also allowed them to use cheques in the school tuck shop and for school events etc., the tellers would advise on keeping a budget and me and the other bank manager would basically sit around being all masterful etc :)
There were two classes in each year (small school) about 25 kids in each. At the end of third year (about 9 years old) we had a maths exam at the end of the year and the top student in each class got to be bank manager for the following year, the runners up being the tellers.
By a funny quirk of fate the top at maths in each class were boys (me and this other boy, Neil) and all the runners up were girls. Not a single boy was a teller.
Also, since it was setbup by a proper bank (TSB) it was technically an official branch (we handled real money after all) so I really was a bank manager at 9.
