Kinoko is Japanese for mushroom. Shown below is our collection consisting of four of the Super Mario Brothers Mushroom coin banks. :-)
Based from the New Super Mario Brothers (N-DS), these mushrooms are:
MINI-MUSHROOM (blue & white)
SUPER MUSHROOM (red & white)
MEGA-MUSHROOM (yellow/orange &red)
1UP MUSHROOM (green & white)
These are actually "sound" coin banks; everytime a coin is dropped, it will sound off one of three, uhm, "traditional" Super Mario sounds (the coin sound, the super mushroom sound, and the question box sound).
Anyway, the plan is to fill them up with one-dollar coins (from loose change, donations, finders-keepers, whatever). Then everytime we hit 100 dollars, we exchange the 100 one-dollar coins for 1 one-hundred-dollar bill from our good, nice neighbors. We then deposit that hundred-dollar bill -- along with any other savings that we have -- to our bank account.
Back to basics for us! Somehow, it's actually working great for us. We already saved one hundred dollars this way within the first two months we tried this and we are now well on our way of earning our next hundred!
What can I say? I like the sound they make! There's something nostalgic about the SMB sounds. Since we're saving money, we might as enjoy it, right? hehehe :))
