moneybox
Savings slot receptacle
A moneybox is a container for collecting and storing coins, typically with a slot for inserting money and no easy way to retrieve it without breaking or unlocking the box.
Children use moneyboxes—often shaped like pigs (piggy banks)—to save pocket money: She dropped her allowance into the moneybox.
The term is more common in British English.
