There are places all over the world where cash is already a thing of the past, especially for people under 30. Japan is not such a place. As a matter of fact, and despite the effect of tourism in the most popular areas, it is still very much the opposite: money means cash and this is something children learn from a very early age. And together, they learn the importance of saving and this is why you'll be hard pressed to find a Japanese home that doesn't have a coin box somewhere. And sometimes in a very special and original design, like the Expo 2025 Myaku-Myaku Figure Money Box!
At first you might think that the Expo 2025 Myaku-Myaku Figure Money Box is just a soft vinyl figure of the mascot of the world fair held in Osaka in 2025. And it is indeed a 250 x 163 x 110 mm (9.8 x 6.4 x 4.3") replica of the strange creature with the blue body and head with many eyes. But turn Myaku-Myaku around and you'll see on its back a slot you can use to fill with coins or folded bills, and turn it upside and find a lid that you can easily open to take your savings out!
