URGENT...C++ Pointers to objects

This program program should use the class as an object (define the object with use of a pointer) that will display the "bank menu".

The program should run until Quit is selected. When 1-5 is selected, the number of coins of that denomination is what should be entered by the user. Option 6 displays the total cash amount on screen and 7 displays the total number of coins of each denomination on screen.

(My code is in three files: .h, .cpp and main.cpp -- this is how we are learning to program it-- the header file should remain as is).

...Here is my code (which does not work...I am lost in pointers and what exactly to do in my functions...!!! Help!!! I need this to work before Monday a.m. I'm using MSVisual C++ compiler v.5.

Thank you!
