(I'm Asian so I can say this.) If I say that we are made of money, that just means you can fit pennies through our little eye slits, and we can save them for you in there!

Listen up, you genius. The joke relies on the racist stereotype that Asian people have small, slanted eyes. The punchline twists this stereotype by suggesting that these "eye slits" can be used to save money. It's a self-deprecating jab at the author's own ethnicity, delivered with a side of dark humor.
