I came up with this idea when I was visiting my friend’s dorm at U of T. She used a 40 bottle ( big beer bottle ) to store her loose change. I then visited another friend living a few doors down and noticed he was keeping his loose change in a pickle jar. I realized that the concept of a piggy bank was still being used among people my age, and I thought to myself “why not take it a step further?”. The baby coin bank concept was created to poke fun at the miserable chore of changing a baby’s diaper. Instead of discovering a nasty surprise that’s nothing close to desirable, you end up with a nice reward for your wallet. Young adults would love this because they can relate to the horrible responsibility that a baby comes with. This makes light of the idea taking care of a baby, and therefore fun .
STINKY DIAPER? ???

WAIT...IT'S FILLED WITH MONEY!!!

The toys will come in a variety of colors and figures, like bini-babys. By creating them in different varieties, they become collectable and more interesting.

HAhahahh
I can see this being sold in some gag stores, or stores on Queen W like Magic Pony or that other toy one with funky gadgets and quirky household items.
I agree with Gillian, I could see this toy being sold in stores like Urban Outfitters. It is edgy, funny and unique. The serves the need that OCAD students have to save money, it also serves to make saving money fun! I think it would be great if you could name your toy, then create a whole series of similar but different characters. I think the 'hipster' OCAD student will buy this product.
I'll order one ;)
cheers
