Every parent has found the need to occasionally raid their [children's piggy bank](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-purple-piggy-bank) to get loose change when desperate. Here's an alternative so that you won't have to handle a rather irrate kid when they find out what you have done.

Although the 'Emergency Money Box' by Becky Miller is not designed for the use mentioned before, it is a way to amass a small fortune in loose change which hopefully you will use only in an emergency. The money can be emptied from the [moneybox](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/berto-hidden-secrets) only by breaking the glass, hopefully making you think twice about that emergency that you are in.
