If you ever played Super Mario Bros., you know the thrill of running across one of those question mark blocks. Bop Mario’s fist against that thing over and over and you never know how many coins or other goodies would come out. If you remember the box, you remember the coin sound as well.
ThinkGeek has a Mario Question Block Money Box that you can drop your coins into. It makes the sounds from the game with each coin you put in. It’s sort of the reverse of the box in the game. It’s just $15.99(USD) and will accept any size coins, so it works with all currencies.
On the other hand, it has no lock so your kids can easily pilfer your change as needed for snacks. This bank will go perfectly with the Coin Box Lamp I talked about last year.
