a thing from past

I was reading wen xiu's blog just now and he wrote that he always wanted those coin collectors. When u wanted a coin u just twisted a little knob.

It reminded of this coin collector i use to have. It's exactly like that picture but it was blue. I remember buying it in Shanghai and my mum screamed in the shop when she tried it. LOL. Seriously hilarious.

The lid is initially closed and there's a button infront of the lid. You palce the coin on the button and press it at the same time and this skeleton hand would come out to collect it. You can unscrew the bottom to get the coin and u can store dollar notes in the tank.

I don't know where mine went. Its been more than 6 years ago since i bought it. Its a fine gadget for scaring people but keeping money there is so not safe. Now, we have piggy banks ^^
