History of Piggy Banks
After selling
piggy banks for more than a year it suddenly dawned
on me, why are they called
piggy banks? What does a pig have to do with saving
money? A pig would be the last animal you'd associate
with saving! Why not bunny banks or doggy banks and for
that matter, why an animal at all?! Additionally, piggy
bank sounds like it was intended as a child's item as
how many adults would use a piggy bank for collecting
change? To satisfy my curiosity I did some piggy bank
research and have learned some interesting things and
thought I'd share them with you.
