Eerie, Indiana Mummy coin holder on YahooJP auctions

Okay though seriously, does anyone else understand what the point of this thing actually is?

So as I understand it, the mummy head is made out of soft plastic, and when you squeeze it, the mouth opens. You put your coins in the mouth opening, and it acts like an ugly little coin purse. I used to have one of these but it was a fish and I brought it for like $2 lol.

But how do you get them out again? Wouldn't you have to shake it and jig it around and that?

[friendof_dorothy]

Yeah basically. Best guess is squeeze the mouth open and jam your fingers up into the tiny slot so you can get your coins lmao. It is not a practical item.

The only upside i can really imagine for something like this is that it it's marketed to little kids, maybe their tiny fingers can get to the coins inside more easily?
