What kind of bank saves cold currency without any tellers or vaults, but completely loses its wealth the moment winter ends?
A snowbank
This riddle uses a pun on the word 'bank,' contrasting a financial institution with a physical mound of drifted snow. The 'cold currency' refers to accumulated snowflakes that pile up throughout winter. When warmer weather arrives, the bank 'loses its wealth' because the snow simply melts away.
