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 thrown in Italy and hand painted in London. They stand between 17cms and 19cms in height. Each money pot contains a separate fortune card. Money pots hold approximately £200 in mixed silver.
