Tomy's Piggy Bank Comes With Built-In RPG
Japanese kids and otaku need slightly more motivation than the rest of us to save money, and to that end, Takara Tomy has made a piggy bank with an RPG game built right on there. It's called Bank Quest (was Final Bank Fantasy taken?) and you can buy weapons and armor for your dude from the savings you place inside. That reminds us of the RPG Toilet we saw in Japan one time that rewarded us for the size, weight and consistency of he deuce we dropped. Wait, that might not have happened.

Credit Card Piggy Bank Robs You of Smashing Satisfaction
A credit card piggy bank would be no fun at all. Where is the joy in sticking a credit card into pig's back when you can't smash it later on to blow your earnings on some frivolous item? Besides, using a credit card or debit card to wirelessly add money into a savings account does not make sense. However, some greedy child could definitely use this bank to hit their relatives up for a bigger allowance. Excuses like "I don't have any cash on me" won't get you off the hook anymore. Good thing this is only a concept device. [Behance via DVICE]

Bankabank Piggy Bank Looks Fashionably Round
Way less insane than the Robotic Piggy Bank we showed you before, this Bankabank piggy bank is made out of soft PVC and holds your coins in a nice, round, eye-pleasing container. No longer do you have to fill up sandwich bags, socks, and duct-taped bra halves in order to make the trek down to your local Coinstar—just throw a Bankabank into your bag and you're done. Remove coins by removing the plug in the front. Forty-eight quarters will get you one. [ILoveUma via Yanko]

Bomb Piggy Bank Explodes When You Take Money Out
Well "explodes" is perhaps a bit harsh, but if you take too long to retrieve your cash monies, the LED fuse lights up and the bomb gets a bit unruly—it starts shaking and then chucks your coinage. If that sounds like your idea of a party (Uncle Scrooge, what?) you can pick one up in Japan from Takara Tomy for about 25 bucks on Oct. 26. More »

Life Bank One Coin Counter, Tallying Up Your Escape from Poverty a Penny at a Time
Here's an idea: Instead of just dropping your spare change into a gigantic bottle and putting off all that tedious counting for another day, why not just screw the Life Bank One coin counter on top of that bottle, and you'll know how much money is in there all along? It gives you a running total in its little odometer-like readout. More »

Robotic Piggy Bank Eats Money, Gives Me Nightmares
I don't know about you, but I don't think I can ever sleep or get an erection after watching this robotic piggy bank do its thing. Seriously, eating your coins is one thing, but designing the face like a demonic orangutan baby? That's not cool, guys. Totally not cool. More »

DigiBank Piggy and Panda Banks Learn to Count
It's the Chinese year of the pig, so maybe that's why we're seeing so many piggy banks and pig-themed stuff lately, but the DigiBank from Keian takes piggy banking a step into the geek zone. It's smart enough to recognize which coins are dropped into it, dutifully counting them and showing you a running total on its LCD display. And look, you can choose between a pink little piggy and a monochromatic panda bear. More »
