Revisiting your childhood is a very infeasible thing to do in today's futuristic times. But there is no harm in reinventing and combining it with technology. That's exactly the case with 'Credit Card Pig Bank'. Whenever you slide your card through the reader in your ceramic pig, it connects to a nearby computer via Bluetooth. The software on your computer will connect directly to your bank and some predetermined amount of money will be credited to your account.
Though a crazy idea, I think it will be much loved and especially after it was one of 5 nominees for the European Henkel Design Award last year. It has the accolades, now we have to wait and see if it will be well received. The designer also predicts that Credit Card Pig Bank could be used in malls and stores for collecting charitable donations.
