Japanese Exploding Piggy Bank

I saw this the other day on mental_floss magazine and this morning again as a link on the Freakonomics Blog....so, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to talk about the recently released Japanese Exploding Piggy Bank.

The point of this piggy bank is that it will "explode" when the owner hasn't saved in a while.
So, it scatters coins all over the place when you haven't fed it money in a few days? I realize this is designed as a toy, but I think it is sending the wrong message.

The Japanese thought about the exploding aspect:
"'Users must pick up and collect the scattered coins and reflect on their laziness,' the Japanese company said."

If it were me, I would take that exploded money, reflex on my laziness about putting it back in the piggy bank and instead spend it. What is easier, putting lots of coins one at a time through a small slot or taking them all and buying something cool?
But, then you have to deal with the embarrassment of paying for something with lots of coins. Or you could go to the bank first. But, then we get back to our original question of which is easier...picking up the coins and going to a bank to get money OR putting the coins back in the piggy bank?

I've confused myself.

Clearly, the right way to go is to use the already released Japanese pee powered batteries (previously posted by zach) in your battery powered piggy bank. You will save money by dropping coins in the piggy bank slot and save even more money by recharging the piggy bank batteries with your own "little potty".

The battery producer, NoPoPo, and the piggy bank maker, TOMY Co Ltd, should really do a joint marketing campaign....

P.S. If you don't want to get mugged taking your piggy bank to the real bank, make sure to wear one of these vending machine costumes (previously mentioned by electronic vagrant).
