On the weekend we were showing my brother in-law around St Kilda (he was visiting from Sydney.) Naturally the excellent craft market caught our attention, spread out overlooking the beach the location is amazing. One stall caught my eye – it was selling moneyboxes that were carved from wood, with a clear plastic window to see inside.
Now I'd love to show you a photo but the stall-holder refused permission to take a pic, which is her right after all. These were really something – a nice warm deep wooden colour with a generous opening in the top to slide the money in. There was one shaped like a Melbourne tram, quite a few animals – many Australian natives of course.
What are some unusual moneyboxes you've seen?
