If you have a pile of 500 yen coins and a serious love of small-scale sim gadgets like the Tamagotchi, then we have the perfect coin box for you – the Life Bank (Jinsei Ginkou) from Takara Tomy.
The LCD display on this unique piggy bank lets you follow the progress of a little guy whose financial fortunes depend on you saving money. Each time you drop in a 500 yen coin his life improves a bit – keep saving, and he’ll go from a lonely guy eating cup noodles in a tiny flat to a successful business man with a loving family. It’s a great motivation to save money!
