This Pokemon Pikachu coin bank has me seriously considering using cash again. After all, cash turns into change, and I could use that change to summon Pikachu!

Here’s how the Pokemon Pikachu coin bank works: all you need to do is place a coin on the yellow space at the top of the box and press down. Pikachu will emerge from the box to grab your coin while talking and laughing. Apparently, Pikachu can generate up to 200 different phrases and sounds. I’m guessing that all of them are some variation on “thanks for the money, chump.” Clearly, Pikachu has a racket going, but I love it anyway.
If you want one, you can order it here while supplies last. ThinkGeek has an exclusive in the U.S. on these, so you’ll want to grab one before they sell out.
