The money box is very easy to use. The safe can be opened using the key or the numerical code . The compact safe can be stored discreetly anywhere. The small , fine combination lock opens and closes with 2 numbers which, as with a large safe, have to be set once to the left and once to the right. Essentially, the small safe secures everything from 1 cent coins to 500 euro bills and the protective effect is very effective. As with every cash box, there is a practical money insertion opening at the top . The built-in and removable drawer, for example for removing coins or money, makes the small safe extremely practical. The dimensions are approximately 12.5 cm in length, 10.2 cm in width and 18.5 cm in height, with a weight of around 520 g. It fulfills its task as a piggy bank completely and satisfactorily. The mini safe is attractive and tasteful.

The mini safe is ideal as a money box for children.
