Jun 21 2007Life Bank One Bottle Top
The Life Bank One is a little coin counter that you can screw onto the top of bottles, turning any empty bottle into a piggy bank. Or, uh, change bank. Unless it happens to be a pig bottle, in which case, yeah, piggy bank. Unfortunately, the thing only counts 1 yen coins, which means it's completely useless unless you live in Japan and only get 1 yen coins in change. And really, who doesn't?

1 Yen coins are pretty weird as I remember them. They felt like they were made of plastic and of all the coins I've ever held, I am pretty sure that you'd have the most difficulty using them as a weapon. Wirh a 1 yen, I don't even think it could scratch off the silver on a lottery ticket, yet I can do a lot of damage with a 1p UK coin. (You don't wanna see me with a 50p coin!)
Now, if somebody could mod this dingus to shoot out the 1yen coins at a decent firing rate you may have something here - plus you'll know when your almost out of ammo.

#4...You're right about the way 1 yen coins feel. It's weird. It's honestly like they're made of plastic. But some of the higher coins can do some real damage...
Anyways....This counter is kind of....what's the word? Pointless? The only way you'd have enough coins that would need a counter is if it was a really big bottle, and if it proudly displayed how much money you had, you're friends (or...mine, anyways) would steal it, wouldn't they?

Hey guys, what's going on. Hey, are you using my handle? Oh wait, it's different, nevermind.

AW HELL NAW

seriously, guys, grow up and stop trolling mmy handle. Anyway, this coin counter is f***ing useless, a 1 yen coin is like a tenth of a cent..so fill up 10-20 20oz bottles, and you can buy yourself a cheeseburger! Or, just throw the practically useless coin back at whichever sales person handed it to you and yell "I DONT WANT YOUR GODDAMN MONOPOLY MONEY SLANT-EYE" ..that should tell 'em.
