"piggy banks," coin banks shaped like pigs. A logical theory
about how this tradition started might be that because pigs
often symbolize greed, the object is to "fatten" one's piggy
bank with as much money as possible.
However, while this idea makes sense, it is not the correct
origin of the term. The genesis of the piggy bank is the old
English word "pygg", which was a common kind of clay
hundreds of years ago in England. People used pots and jars
made out of this red "pygg" clay for many different purposes
,in their homes. Sometimes they kept their money in one of
the pots, and this was known as a pygg bank. Over the years,
because "pygg" and "pig" sounded the same, glaziers began
making novelty banks out of pottery in the shape of a pig as
a kind of joke. These banks were given as gifts and exported
to countries where people spoke other languages and where
no one had ever heard of pygg clay. The tradition caught on
