Space Invaders fans, here’s a fun way to save your spare change – if you happen to live in Japan, that is. This Space Invaders piggy bank looks just like a miniature cocktail table version of the classic arcade shooter.

It’s a good week for saving money while playing games. If Tetris and Breakout aren’t your bag, you might want to try something even simpler, like Bankquest or Jinsei Ginko. It seems that piggy banks that double as tiny gaming machines are quite the happening trend in Japan these days.

This rather silly invention out of Japan lets you count individual one Yen coins so you can save them up. The TakaraTomy Life Bank One Yen Counter screws on the top of any bottle, and lets you count up your change.
