You can forget about your dad’s classic piggy bank because Facebank is here.

The Banpresto Facebank is a fun little innovation in moneybox technology. Yeah, leave it up to a Japanese designer to find a way to make coin storage cool again.

How does it work? Simply feed it your coins and watch it eat.

Facebook? How about Facebank! Because Facebank really does what it’s supposed to do – a bank with a face that takes any change you feed it. Designed by Japanese designer Takada and shown on TV, this is the world’s first interactive bank that can “eat” up to 30 500yen coins (quarters, etc). A great gift idea to freak out your guests. Available only in Japan in blue, red, and white. Another gizmo first available from AC.

In your choice red, white, or blue, online retailer AudioCubes is selling the Banpresto Facebank for only $29.00. Yummy!
