piggybank
Child's coin hoard
A piggybank is a small container for saving coins, traditionally shaped like a pig with a slot in the top.
Children use piggybanks to accumulate spare change: She's been dropping quarters into her piggybank for months.
The term extends to any personal savings reserve: I had to break into my piggybank to cover the repair.
Also spelled piggy bank.
