Painted Frog Bank

Morgan Ho

As Benjamin Franklin once said; "A penny saved is a penny earned" and we can all attest to the necessity of being smart with money.... Unless something comes out that piques our interest. Something like the painted frog (piggy) bank as seen in the picture below perhaps (featuring the wooden puzzle cube!!) Yet the quandary is "How can save money to spend when I have nowhere to store it?"

Front-on view

Look no further friends as the answer to one of life's greatest questions is answered with frog-shaped ease! With a wide smile and unblinking eyes this cornerstone of a any financially burdened individual invites you to clink coin after coin in. The bank is a durable wood of solid weight featuring a solid paint and etching job. The bank also allows for note storage albeit at the cost of them looking like used tissues when extracted.

Bottom view

The bank utilizes a rubber plug to keep all of your money safe and sound. This plug can be easily (but not too easily) removed if a situation arises. Unfortunately if you wish to physically 'break the bank' you'll have a harder time than most which is a testament to the structural integrity. Using this frog shaped item will protect your investments from cyber theft attempts at no added cost to you. Similarly, a stable and guaranteed  interest rate of 0.00% p.a. is available for investors! As an added bonus if you desire to 'make it rain' the bank will be fine since frogs don't mind being wet.

Pros

•  Well constructed & designed
• Frogs are more indie
• Always smiling
• You've learnt from the Global Financial Crsis

Cons

• Note storage isn't space efficient
• Liable to physical theft

Overall Rating: 4/5 Stars, worth the cash splash
