how can I open a Coconut monkey bank?

Question

I have a coconut monkey bank that a friend gave me, and I’m curious if anyone else has one of these. Does anyone know how to open it? Is it similar to a piggy bank where I would need to smash it to access the coins, or is there a specific method to open it? I’m hesitant to break it since it’s made out of coconut.

Try drilling a hole at least 1 inch in diameter, at the base of the monkey.Empty the coins, and the hole can be plugged up and you can re-use the bank.

Hopefully you only put coins in it. Get a knife with a thin blade or a nail file and slip it into the money slot. Hold the bank upside down so the slot is over a table or bed and use the knife blade to guide the coins to the slot. It will take a while but you can get it out this way. Take it from an old piggy bank robber.

Hold the coconut in one hand and continually hit it in a straight line around the coconut with a hammer. This will create a hairline crack that will be easy to split with a screwdriver. But get the husk off of it first.

I know exactly the bank you are talking about. My son has one! Hopefully yours came with a little tool attached to it — it is pointed on one end but not super sharp. Poke that tool (or if you don’t have it, use a screwdriver or key or something) through the soft part on the bottom of the bank. It should poke right through and with a little wiggling of the tool, you can release the money that is inside.
Good luck!

I used to live in Tahiti.  Here’s how:

Strip off any husk.  Take a knife, machete or hammer.  Using the NON SHARP edge, whack the nut on its equator at each of the three ribs that run down from pole to pole.  After about 5 whacks, the nut will split.

Get a large thick knife like a machette and hack away.  This is how they open coconuts on the reality series ‘Survivor.’  You could also open it with a saw.
