I’m sorry to say it, but the local panhandlers have just lost the battle for my pocket change. Normally I find sticking it in a bank of some sort a rather boring prospect, since I know one day I’m gonna have to count it all, but the uninspiringly-named Coin Bank by REVOL-DESIGN turns your change into a work of art, inspiring you to fill it up as quickly as possible.
The bank can be emptied once you unlock the padlock securing the bottom, and to make things even cooler there’s a series of clear acrylic spacers on the inside turning it into your own giant Plinko game! Sadly, pricing and availability aren’t known, but you can safely assume it will set you back a fair bit of coin.
This straddles the line between cool and horrible.
However, I want to fill this bank up, then sit at the bottom, furiously picking the lock. Then, when after much trouble, and probably a very distracted yet witty conversation with my partner in crime about his relationship problems, I will open the lock, and all of the coins will come pouring out onto the floor, where my partner and I will be swimming in pure joy and pennies.
The thought of being able to do this gives this bank the slight nudge it needs to get on the cool side of that line.
