Greedy Politician Bank “Steals” Your Money
Politicians, can you really trust them with YOUR money? This bank says no. The Greedy Politician Bank literally steals your money. Sure you can get it back if you open up the bottom of the bank, but the symbolism is still valid here. Place a coin on the plate and out of the box comes that money hungry politician to grab your coin for his coffers. And he does it with an evil laugh, check out the demo video:
That’s so sneaky. So corrupt, so funny. That’s no piggy bank, that’s a fat cat bank. You just got taxed, son. That link is the manufacturer’s site, they are looking for resellers. Should we carry this in our gadget shop?
Star Wars R2-D2 Talking Bank
Bleep and bloop your savings to intergalactic levels with the R2-D2 Talking Bank. Place a coin into this 7.5″ tall bank and Artoo makes some of his signature sounds. Or as my gangsta rapping friend Jigga the Hutt says, “drop a dime to the dome”. R2-D2 usually saves the day but sometimes he just saves money. It’s the droid way.
Han Solo Frozen in Carbonite Bank
When can you trust a rogue intergalactic smuggler with your money? Why when he’s frozen in carbonite by Billy Dee Williams…works every time. The Star Wars Han Solo In Carbonite Coin Bank measures 12″ tall and is not made of carbonite but instead vinyl. Good thing because in reality carbonite is an explosive. Oh wait, Star Wars actually is reality? Then nevermind- carry on with your carbonite bank.
Put a Coin in this Dog’s Mouth, He Poops it into the Bank
This little dog bank has a neat little trick. Or maybe it’s more of a messy one actually. Feed a coin into the Unchoken Lucky Dog Bank‘s mouth, he gets very excited, does a spin, then “makes a deposit” right into the box. All your friends will want to “feed” your dog. Action video:
Well at least you don’t have to scoop that poop. It comes in three different color dog styles. If you couldn’t tell by the Japanese writing or the thoroughly ridiculous nature of this bank, this is a Japanese import. Definitely a unique bank, great for dog lovers and poop lovers alike. Highly entertaining (as far as banks go).

Banks brace for cyberwarfare drill Quantum Dawn 2
Come June 28th, Wall Street outfits including the likes of Citigroup and Bank of America will be under siege -- from fake hackers, that is. Representatives from a total of 40 companies along with the Federal Reserve, Securities and Exchange Commission, US departments of Treasury and Homeland Security will take part in Quantum Dawn 2: a simulated cyberattack on faux trading and information systems. Led by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, the drill will test the ability of participants to cooperate via email and phone to suss out what's going on and hatch a plan. The exercise will momentarily pause so that those involved can decide on a course of action, and then it'll speed up and model the effects of the decision over a longer period of time. With the recent flurry of hacking incidents and international finger pointing, something tells us this won't be the last we hear of drills like Quantum Dawn.
