Collectible Still and Piggy Banks

Collectible piggy banks come in a variety of different looks and styles. These plastic, ceramic, or metal banks were designed to save money for a child, including various coins and bills, and they are often gifts from parents and used as a piece of decor in children’s bedrooms. Some are simple and straightforward while others have a funny look that is designed to make a child laugh.

Why are they shaped like a piggy?

Money banks like these have a history that stretches back centuries. The first known ceramic gifts of this type were made in Europe during the 1600s. They were made using a type of orange clay known as "pygg." The phonetic similarity inspired somebody to turn them into cute pigs and create them as novelty money bank gifts for younger people.

Finding one of these ancient items is likely impossible because most had to be smashed to retrieve the money. It is likely that you have seen a child smash one in a movie. As a result, vintage versions are often quite rare to find in one piece.
