The 'Elongation Piggy Bank' is a fidget toy-inspired container for keeping currency in one accessible spot to ensure it's never left kicking around a desk or table again. Drawing inspiration from the classic design of the Slinky toy, the unit features a small section on the top portion for depositing coins that can also be easily removed to individually access currency. The piggy bank can be stretched apart like a traditional Slinky to let all the coins tumble outward for a distinctly playful, interactive experience that's suitable for children or adults alike to appreciate.
The 'Elongation Piggy Bank' is the design work of ShaoJun Zhang who further explained the functionality of the unit saying, "When the coin is full, pick up the piggy bank, grab both ends with both hands and pull them apart. The coin will be taken out of the gap easily and quickly. This way of opening and closing makes it easy for people to use the piggy bank while adding a lot of fun for people to withdraw money.”
