Tim was given this toy about ten years ago when he was attending one of the big toy fairs. It is made by the Japanese company Tenyo, who make all sorts of magical toys. There are quite a few puzzles where it is hard to get the money out of the box, but this version turns that thinking on its head – here it is hard to get the money in to the box!
There are a number of free moving plastic squares, each containing a slot, and you have to shake, slide and manipulate the box, until all the slots are aligned, in order to get the coin in to the box.
Given the economic problems in many countries at the moment, some economists think we need to save more, but others think we need to spend more. This money box certainly makes it harder to save!
