Craft Ideas for Making Piggy Banks | Ready Made Banks in Many Designs
Banks can be made from a variety of materials and decorating them can be a fun craft project for all the family. Although kids enjoy having piggy banks, adults enjoy using them, too, and they make great gifts for all ages. They will be especially appreciated if the piggy bank is one you have made yourself.
Having their own piggy bank can help to teach children about saving money. Count the money in the piggy banks with the children from time to time so they will remember that they can watch their savings grow. They will soon see that even tiny additions to their savings make a difference.
Piggy banks are collector items and if you start a piggy bank collection you may want to decide on a special type you will collect. Vintage piggy banks can be found in antique stores, pawn shops and st online retailer websites. It's possible to find them when visiting garage sales and flea markets. Some bank collectors guides can be a good way to find them, also. To know the value of certain vintage banks, web sites and antique shops are a good place to start along with joining a piggy bank collectors club.

Just wondering: - How did the "piggy bank" get started?
In Middle English, "pygg" referred to a type of clay used for making various household objects such as jars. People often saved money in kitchen pots and jars made of pygg, called "pygg jars". By the 18th century, the spelling of "pygg" had changed and the term "pygg jar" had evolved to "pig bank."
Once the meaning had transferred from the substance to the shape, piggy banks began to be made from other substances, including glass, plaster, and plastic.
