Starting in the middle of July, Japanese design company Plex [JP] will sell an electronic, Kamen Rider-inspired savings box.

The so-called Shocker ATM Bank will yell “Eeeee!” every time you put some money into it. The device is able to differentiate every coin between 1 and 500 Yen of value and displays what you saved up so far. Thieves have no chance to get your money since every Shocker ATM Bank comes with a security card and an individual secret number.

The Japan-only savings box can also be used as an alarm clock and calculator. It is currently available for pre-order at Amazon Japan and costs $30.
