Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.

This post is in memory of Bot #001 who sadly blew away in the wind.

Poor Bot #001 😔

Will they blow back in when the wind changes, like Botty Poppins?

On an unrelated note, anyone know where you get coin banks these days? The tin I had is on its way out, but Officeworks doesn't seem to sell them any more (they used to have a rather fun coin-sorting one, but that also seems to be gone, more's the pity).

Hmm I usually see coin banks in $2 shops (or whatever they’re called nowadays) but that said I haven’t been in one in forever so not totally sure!

I echo stardustingss with the $2 shop answer. I've seen decorative/novelty types there, and I bought a unicorn head one for a child's birthday gift. I've also made my own out of a metal tin with plastic lid, like a Sustagen tin. It was handy for hiding money in the kitchen.. until someone wanted a Sustagen and found my money.
