Children's Toy Bank Uses ATM Cards and Touch Screen

Children's ATM Toy Spits Out Real Cash
If you were worried that your child wasn't being trained to be a good economic citizen, then check out this toy to make sure he or she grows up learning the value of plastic. The Children's Touch Screen ATM Bank comes with a card and a PIN for your tyke to manage an account of up to $999.99. The bank accepts bills of all kinds and coins.

Some of you probably hope that this little gizmo will teach your kid the value of a dollar. It's more likely he or she will just learn that there's a machine that gives them money anytime they put their card in it. We're waiting for "Baby's First Massive Credit Card Debt Simulator" to hit the market.
