Micro bankSave you money, shrink your money! That must be what the designers of this weird gadget had in mind while that created the Micro Bank. No, it’s not a real Bank, it’s a piggy bank, where you can "deposit" your little savings.

You just put a coin in the top slot. The coin will slide down the silver funnel till it reaches the end, where the funnel is very very narrow. You might think that the coin won’t get past this point, but you’ll be amazed to see that your little coin drops in the box inside. And when i say little, i mean it, cause it now seems to be shrinked a couple times than the original size. It’s all an optical illusion of course, but the effect it’s pretty cool, cause the coins are shrinked by 75%.

Micro Bank is a cool way to store you little savings

And when you want to get your money from this "Bank", you just open the slot in the back and there you go. Fortunate enough, the money are now back to their normal size. Pretty nice. And i guess it has quite some psychological effect, cause you see a tiny bunch of money in the box, and after you open it, you find out that there are many more. From the volumic point of view of course…

Ah, and you can get this little bank gadget for just 20$. It would be a great gift for your kid, i may add…

    Nice find! I saw a charity donation box similar to this a long time ago. I know it had me bemused!

    Internet is full of such strange products, but the world is big and so are particular demands :)
