Facebank is a Creepy Coin Bank That Eats Your Spare Change

Posted on by

Face Bank

 

 

The Face Bank is one of the creepiest coin banks we’ve recently come across. It’s one of those electronic coin banks that don’t accept your deposits passively. You might remember those dog coin banks where an adorable canine hides in a box and reaches out to grab your coin when you put in on the slot.

Well, instead of reaching over or nudging the coin into it, the Face Bank gobbles it up instead. Just put the coin close to its mouth and watch it eat your spare change right up. It probably wasn’t made to look creepy, but it does.

The Face Bank is available for $14.95.

Hadu-Coins: Street Fighter Ryu Money Box

Street Fighter Ryu Money Box

 

 

Collect spare change and make a pledge to save at least a dollar a day the fun way with the Street Fighter Ryu Money Box. It’s basically the coolest piggy bank–or is that Ryu-bank?–that features a pixelated Ryu from Street Fighter doing what he does best. Ryu’s actually in mid-Haduken but I’m sure he won’t mind if you interrupt him to put a few quarters in.

The Ryu money box is 11 centimeters tall and it would definitely look awesome on your bedside table or wherever you decide to put it. It’s available from Fancy for $16.

Feed Your Dreams Piggy Bank Grows with Every Penny You Save

Posted on by

Now here’s a piggy bank that literally grows as your savings grow.

It’s annoying how you can’t really tell if your piggy bank is still half full or half empty (oh, those two are the same? You don’t say!). An alternative to most rigid-type coin banks are the Feed Your Dreams Piggy Bank.

Feed Your Dreams Piggy Bank

This bank isn’t just for kids who are learning the importance of saving, but it’s also great for adults who want to get back into the habit of saving.

Piggy Bank1

The piggy bank is made from high-quality felt imported from Germany. Unlike traditional breakable ceramic piggy banks, Feed Your Dreams visibly shows how full it is with every coin that’s dropped inside it. When the pig is as full as it can get, the coins can be scooped out by opening the zipper at the bottom of the piggy bank’s belly.

The Feed Your Dreams Piggy Bank was designed and made by Baum-kuchen in Los Angeles in collaboration with Christine Lau. It retails for $58(USD) and is available in five colors.

Porkfolio Piggy Bank Saves You Time to Save Its Life

Posted on by

The fragile nature of the traditional piggy bank was meant to force you to save your money until you really needed it, but it also meant you couldn’t count how much you already saved unless you break the thing open. Not so with the Porkfolio. It’s a smart piggy bank that can tell you how much money is inside it.

The Porkfolio was conceptualized by Quirky member Jason Hunter. The idea is to teach kids the basics of both saving money and online banking. When you insert a coin in Porkfolio’s belly, his nose will light up to indicate that it has recognized what coin you put in (though it only recognizes U.S. coins.) You will then use a companion mobile app to look at your balance and even set savings goals. But the app can do more than that.

According to Quirky, the app is the only legitimate way to open Porkfolio. If someone tampers with him or forces him open, the accelerometer inside him should detect the movement and alert you via the app.

There’s still no word on when and for how much Quirky will sell Porkfolio. Your current piggy bank is safe for now.

Billosaur, A Slightly More Upscale Piggy Bank

You can barely buy anything with coins these days. A penny is barely even worth the time or effort to put it into a piggy bank. That’s why the Billosaur wants your dollar bills and not your worthless coins. This ceramic piggy bank takes your rolled up dollar bills in it’s back to make a stegosaurus style dinosaur with 7 dollar spikes. You can push the bills through to store even more inside his dino belly. A set of corks are included to fill the spots when you’re short on cash. (via)

Billosaur: The Pre-Historic Piggy Bank for Your Paper Money

Posted on by

Billosaur

A penny a day might save you a hundred dollars someday, but bills will get you to a thousand faster. Unfortunately, most piggy banks aren’t built to handle bills with their short, slim slots. Recognizing that people’s saving habits are changing, B.B. Billosaur eventually came to be. It’s a pre-historic piggy bank of sorts that accepts your bills without the usual muss and fuss of having to fold them up and push them so hard into the usual slot.

Instead, it has seven round openings along its back where you’re supposed to slip your rolled-up bills into. Cover the hole with the cork stopper to keep the cash in, and keep on saving until you reach your goal.

The B.B. Billosaur is priced at $39.

Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man Bank Could Never Ever Possibly Destroy Your Money

Posted on by

I tried to think of the most harmless thing. Something I loved from my childhood. Something that could never ever possibly destroy us…

This Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man is not here to demolish your city – in fact he’s here to help you save money, so you can start rebuilding it.

stay puft piggy bank

This 20-inch-tall (51cm) Stay-Puft piggy bank isn’t quite as tall as the one in Ghostbusters, but it is big enough to hold plenty of loose change and to stop around on your model railroad set. It’s actually not the first Stay-Puft bank ever made, but it’s substantially taller than the previous model, and when you’re dealing with marshmallow men, bigger is always better.

The Stay-Puft piggy bank is coming from Japan’s Blister Direct in May 2013, and will sell for ¥ 9,800 (~$119 USD). So start filling your current piggy bank now, so you can order this awesome new one to replace it with.
