piggy banks

Porcine savings vessels

A piggy bank is a small container for saving coins, traditionally shaped like a pig with a slot for inserting money.

Children use piggy banks to learn about saving.

The pig shape may derive from "pygg," a type of clay once used for such containers, though the connection is disputed.

Any coin-saving container may be called a piggy bank regardless of shape.
