For little ones there’s Junior and Electronic Banking versions!

Plants

Money can’t grow on trees but these plants sure look like it can! The Chinese Money Plant (Pilea peperomioides), is great for indoors with an upright tree-like stem covered in round coin like leaves. And the Coin Leaf Plant (Peperomia Raindrop), also shaped like “coins”, provides year-round style, with the calming benefits of nature.

The Money Maze

The ultimate combination of a challenging puzzle and an intriguing place to store your money, if you can figure it out, of course!
