Filed under What Present To Buy For A Saver
Pigs with slots in their backs are just so yesterday. They took our money for what seemed like ages, steadfastly refusing you a single penny back unless you were particularly adept with a knife and then they had to be smashed to reveal a lot less money than you'd been hoping for.
Enter the Mini ATM Machine Savings Bank from the Zeon Science Museum range.
This novelty bank accepts both coins and notes (it has an automatic note slot) and conveniently keeps a running total of your savings. This innovative savings bank even lights up and makes real ATM bank sound when in use.
And when you find yourself a little short of cash, it allows you to withdraw money too. An ATM card is included and you simply insert it into the machine, tap in your PIN number (which you can set) and access your money. The withdrawn amount is deducted from your total just as in the real thing
As an added bonus, enter your name and date of birth and if you use the ATM on your birthday a birthday song will sound. If used on Christmas day, a Christmas song will sound.
The ATM bank also has an alarm and calendar function with LCD display.
The Mini ATM Machine is available online click here for more details.
