Yamanote Train Piggy Bank
Posted on Jan 1, 09 09:35 AM PDT

It is normal to take something iconic and turn it into a gizmo of sorts, and the same goes for Tokyo's Yamanote subway line that ferries around 3 to 5 million passengers daily across 29 stations. Seahope has turned the typical Yamanote into a piggy bank, where it will play a randomly selected Yamanote line train station melody each time you drop a coin inside. For the uninitiated, each station has its own pleasant melody, so those who are old hands at this will know which stop they're at without having to look at the signboard. The headlights will also turn on when you drop your "donation". This is a great way to get kids to start saving up, especially during tough times like these. You can bring home the Yamanote Train Piggy Bank for $89.99.
