 out of your kid’s stash by telling them exactly how much money it contains at any given time, which is a very 21st century way to teach your young ones that life ain’t nothin’ but bitches n’ money (you’ll have to figure out the “bitches” part on your own).</p>
<p>Instead of the traditional breaking of the bank, whereupon you realize you’re about $50 short of having the money you need, so you hatch some hare-brained scheme that they later make into a movie, you get an LCD readout.</p>
<p>That sucks. Still, it was bound to happen someday. And at least it keeps the orthodox round piggy form factor, so that’s something.</p>

Are you kidding me? Electronic piggy banks with LCDs and/or counting mechanisms have been around for years in all forms, shapes, sizes, and colors, including the traditional pig shape. Go to your local Toys’r'us and you’ll find about ten of these. What makes this item noteworthy for CG? OLED display? Text-to-speech of money amount when you insert a coin? Robo-hydraulic movements when the pig is about to burst? Anything?
That’s true….xD
