Magnetic Piggy Bank
This is a design for a metal piggy bank, consisting of two identical parts, each with a circular magnet embedded in the corners of the bottom surface. When in use, the bottom surfaces are aligned so that the two halves connect through magnetic force, forming a complete piggy bank. When the coins are full and it’s time to withdraw money, the piggy bank can be split open at the middle to retrieve the coins inside. The two parts of the bank can be connected in various relative orientations, creating multiple forms and aesthetic effects to suit different display arrangements, complementing or contrasting with the surrounding environment. The two parts of the piggy bank are completely symmetrical and made using metal stamping technology, each featuring a coin slot, which means that only one mold is needed for the production process.
