Allow me first to warn you all of the freakiness of this gadget, and also to say… WHAT THE HECK?!

Look at it. LOOK! What the heck is this monstrosity? Nobody say it’s cute, please, I’m already a second’s glance away from dreaming about this tonight, and I may not wake up!

What is it? It’s the Banpresto “Facebank” (a.k.a. The Creature They Tell Little Kids About to Keep Them From Going Into The Woods) — a coin bank that eats your coins. Seriously, starts eating coins that you feed it. Don’t believe me? Just curious? See for yourself:

Good grief! sdjgfkajsd Keep it away from me! Why am I even featuring this?! On to the pros and cons. Gah.

The pros: It can hold up to 30 quarter-sized coins. It’s an effective paperweight. That. Is. All.

The cons: It’s freakin’ ugly! Can’t they come up with a cute cat face instead?! It costs US$29, and runs on 4 AAA batteries. You spend good money that you could’ve given to the poor on THIS, and it will efficiently ward off ALL your friends and family.
