Polar Bear Money Box Polar Bear Money Box Finland-made

W11.8×D11.9×H15.4cm This Finnish-made polar bear piggy bank has a cute expression. The design was previously used as a novelty item by Finnish banks. Apparently banks would give these to children as a way to educate them on saving, so that they would become future customers. There is a typical Finnish story in which the bank would sometimes keep the money in the bank without giving the children a key, with the idea that when the piggy bank was full, they would return to the bank. Production of the bank later ceased, but the original model was found, and biotope requested that it be reproduced. The bottom can be opened and closed with the included key.
