  1. shake the coins out one by one...lol good luck your arms may become extremely tired.


  2. no.

  3. No

  4. Assuming there isn't a plug on the bottom, you can hold it upside down so the coin slot is squarely facing the ground and you can stick a fingernail file/ thin nail board (I'm a guy, so I don't the exact term for it) or a tongue depressor in the slot and move it up and down. This will turn the coins so can fall out of the slot. It is tiring and time consuming and should you take a break now and again so you don't get so tired that you accidentally drop the piggy bank.

  5. You could use a drill (VERY CAREFULLY). Start with a very small diameter bit, and then gradually increase the diameter until you have a hole that is slightly larger than the largest diameter coin in the bank. Then, once you have emptied out the bank, you could concievably use a rubber plug to stopper the hole, and continue to reuse the bank. I recommend drilling the hole on the underside of the bank, where it will not be obvious.

  6. Unfortunately, there is no other way. Unless you have a "super piggy bank money lifter", which they haven't invented yet, haha.
