Ah, time to teach the boy about bank fees - "See, L'il Ty, you made $0.19 in interest last month, and the bank only charged you $5.00."
Look for a small community bank or co-op, possibly through a school program, with a special program for kids. Otherwise, buy savings bonds (I think denominations go as low as $20.00.
