Money Maze Bank Puzzle

Here’s a challenge for you and a piggy bank you’ll be sure not to have the patience to break: the Money Maze Bank Puzzle.

There are several phases to owning a piggy bank:
1. You put the money in it and think of saving it for a better use than snacks or cigarettes. Your will is strong.
2. You see the money and you’re tempted. Your will begins to fade.
3. You start justifying with excuses like “What’s the point of saving?”, “I’m not getting any younger.”, “I need to live in the moment!” or “I have such a huge craving for chips!”.
4. You break the piggy bank and you take the money.
5. You spend the money on useless trifles.
6. You feel guilty and buy another piggy bank.

Only this time, step 4 is going to take a while. You have to solve a puzzle before you can take the money out of this piggy bank.

Magical Money Jug

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.

Face Bank Brick

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.
