Oink-free banking. So many designers are reinterpreting the classic piggy bank and many of them are very well done. The Volcoino is my favorite so far partly because it leaves the pig behind and doubles as a sleek art object. While I have nothing against pigs and almost committed to the Coink, I prefer the narrower Volcoino. Designed by Karim Rashid and manufactured by Umbra, Volcoino is ceramic with a chrome finish. The design features a rubber plug on its underside. —aaron
