One of the most important finance-related lesson for a kid is teaching him/her how to save up some money. The first candy you buy with your own money tastes differently than the one mum or dad get you.

Besides, piggy-banks are fun! My dad had one when I was too young to understand what money was and he kept it long after I stopped saving up coins. And he wouldn’t give it up, so he bought me my own. But, nice as they were, the Magical Money Jug still beats them. It’s not just a piggy-bank; it also counts the coins as you insert them. It can identify pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters and can count up to $999.99, so you can easily keep track of your coins and prepare for the day when some unfortunate store clerk will have to count it all.

This is one of the creepiest things I’ve ever seen. Like all kids, I saved coins and I went out once in a while and bought myself some candy… I want to thank the people who invented the Face Bank Brick for not thinking of it 15 years ago. It would’ve given me nightmares.

It’s a piggybank. But not a normal piggybank in which you drop coins: this one eats them. Literally. The “face” moves and swallows your money. You can’t properly understand the weirdness until you see it, so just check out the following video:

If you want to scar a child for life, by all means, give him a Face Bank.
