# Vintage Phone Money Collectors Keep All of Your Loose Change Safe in Your Retro Coin Bank By Mesel Isaac | Published 2013-12-30 | Special Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-coin-bank References: [fancy](http://fancy.com/things/478954559155210721/Retro-Coin-Bank) & [mollaspace](http://mollaspace.com/products/retro-coin-bank) This retro coin bank is a perfect replica of the [rotary phones of the past](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gboard-dial) but instead of using it to make calls (nobody calls anymore) you'll use it to keep your change safe. Granted the idea of a [piggy bank](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metallic-piggy-bank) alone is a retro one in and of itself and therefore designing one in the form of a rotary telephone seems to be taking the concept into some Inception like levels of hipsterdom; still their is something to be said about having a place to collect your change that won't necessarily clash with the décor of your home. The retro coin bank evokes a "[classic design of the past](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-technology-tech-brand-kickbacks-discman-is-nostalgic)" that will surely make some people nostalgic for the days of cheap gas and no Miley Cyrus. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.4/10 - Popularity: 2% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Special](https://www.trendhunter.com/special) > [Holiday](https://www.trendhunter.com/holiday) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Retro Coin Banks:** Creating vintage-inspired coin banks that are both functional and decorative. - **Nostalgic Home Decor:** Designing products that evoke nostalgia and complement modern home aesthetics. - **Hipster Collectibles:** Developing unique, retro-themed items that appeal to the hipster subculture. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** Offering a range of vintage-inspired decor items for residential spaces. - **Gift and Collectibles:** Providing unique and nostalgic products for collectors and gift-givers. - **Retail Design:** Creating curated retail spaces that cater to the growing demand for retro aesthetics. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Digital Currency Piggy Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-piggy-bank-concept.md) - [Retro Phone-Inspired Label Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintage-phone-labeling.md) - [Wishing Well-Inspired Coin Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coin-bank-concept.md) - [Kintsugi-Inspired Piggy Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/penny-piggy-bank.md) - [Modernized Nostalgic Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tin-cans.md) - [Pager-Inspired Power Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beeper-power-bank.md) - [Retro Tech Speakerphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-phone.md) - [Paper-Made Piggy Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metallic-piggy-bank.md) - [Nostalgic Cellular Power Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trozk-retrotalk.md)
