Everyone at sometime or the other has had a piggy bank. This method of saving money in form of coins actually came about when they made ceramic containers that looked like pigs. People used them to put their loose or spare change. The slots would be too small to fit in money in the form of notes. This kind of bank was for small children to learn how to save money at an early age and how to use the money wisely, but most kids ended up breaking the piggy bank to take cash to buy ice cream or some form of candy or sweets. Piggy banks have existed for a long time and since you were little your parents would probably give you some sort of allowance which probably started from pennies or cents and went on to accumulate to more cash as you grew older.
Piggy coin collections are still there even today with many people collecting any spare change they might have even grownups are doing it. Even today, coin collection is a hobby of mine as well as for other people who just enjoy collecting coins. Banking with the piggy taught me a lot of lessons which i still use until today. It also taught me how to use my money wisely and saving was always a good thing. Even today i do not have the nerve to break my piggy coin collection which has already housed a lot of my coins and now i even have a new one.
