Temple Street Calculator

Materials:
Plastic, electronics

Notes:
"We like big numbers. Five zeroes after any one-to-nine looks a lot better on this calculator than on your standard Casio, Texas Instruments, or the one you got as a promo piece from the bank for opening a checking account. Kaching. this might be the very embodiment of the as-of-recent late history of Hong Kong as the center of the manufacturing universe. The micro-factories of Hong Kong who churned out items like this were the basis of the roaring economical upswing this tiny place had in the late parts of last century. Now that was Cash Money with at least seven zeroes or more!"
