Unlike many of the breakable money boxes out there, this hand grenade design by Biaugust has a little more protection to offer than most. You would have to be seriously broke in order to break this hand grenade and get to your pennies.
This ceramic grenade bank is yet another example of how this destructive weapon has become an iconic symbol, increasingly finding its way into our homes under a variety of guises.
Implications - The irony of this dangerous weapon is that the proceeds from their sales will benefit A.N.S.W.E.R. (Act Now to Stop War & End Racism). This creative piggy bank was created by a student at the Musashino Art University and Cloud at Tama Art U in Japan. Another prime example of how Generation Y is obsessed with giving back to their communities.
