The piggy bank is dead, but long live the Digital Coin Counting Robot Bank. This cute little guy from the Sharper Image is an interactive talking robot that is able to automatically recognize and tabulate ever coin you put in him – so that you can keep track of your savings and withdrawals. He also has a large LCD scream and a rugged rubberized body with motion activated alarms – you know, in case his look wasn’t intimidating enough to scare away thieves on its own! The Digital Coin Counting Robot Bank retails for $29.99.
