Novel Alarm Clock – Money Shredder
This novel alarm clock takes the saying if “you snooze, you lose” to literal levels. As you can see the design is such that you place new bills within the clock, if you fail to turn it off on time when the alarm goes off the built in shredder goes to work.
The funny thing is that not only will you lose money if you fail to turn the clock off, the process itself might be technically illegal in some jurisdictions! This is because, as Mashable kindly points out, willfully destroying U.S. currency is a federal crime in the USA:
“..Whoever mutilates, cuts, disfigures, perforates, unites or cements together, or does any other thing to any bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt issued by any national banking association, Federal Reserve Bank, or Federal Reserve System, with intent to render such item(s) unfit to be reissued, shall be fined not more than $100 or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.”
