Hello Kitty ATM Bank - Import Preorder

Through the years, Hello Kitty has been many things to many people. Cultural icons have a tendency to appeal to a broad spectrum of devotees and Kitty has shown her mettle in spades. When the autumn of 2008 rolls around, the plain white cat with the simple facial structure serves another role: Banker.

The upcoming Sanrio licensed Hello Kitty ATM Bank features a flip-top lid which pops up to reveal an keypad, a digital readout, and a coin slot which accepts 500-yen coins. Since a 500-yen coin measures 2.65cm or 1.04" in diameter and a USA quarter (0.25 cents) is slightly less than an inch in diameter, the Kitty Bank will store up to 500 quarters. Three styles are on offer for preorder and reservations are welcome today.
