Terramundi Money Pots
Our
money pots have been traditionally used in Italy for over 2000 years
and their hand thrown design has remained unchanged. The British Museum
houses examples of these ancient money pots.

Once the first coin
is dropped the money pot must be fed until full upon which time it must
be smashed whilst making a wish. It is customary to replace the pot and
spend the money on 'good things', they bring good fortune.
Money
pots are sometimes used to house a candle or a plant once smashed. The
best way to break your money pot is to get a chisel or the back of a
hammer and place it inside the
money slot - slowly lever the top and you should be able to pop the top
off - you can now use the money pots to house a plant, sweets or pens.

Terramundi money pots are hand made in Italy and hand painted in London and then shipped
directly to us.
They stand between 17cms and 19cms (7 inches) in height.
Each money pot contains a separate fortune coin inside.
Money pots hold approximately $500 in mixed coins.
