When you were a child did you experienced to save coins through piggy banks?
This is the tradition of our grandparents passed onto us. So when we grow bigger we are given piggy banks where we can put our coins. And our piggy banks at that time are so simple... just made from bamboo, just that. There was a time we are also given with piggy bank made from clay. The design is just like pig.
My children now have their own piggy banks. They save coins from their school's allowance. They wanted to buy something so they said they are going to save. Three of my youngest children have their own piggy banks.
Well, its not only children are saving money in piggy banks. We are too, saving money in piggy banks and banks.

I was just reading on another site, where some people are supersitious about saving coins and consider it to be bad luck.

There are superstition even my country that if you have piggy bank you are also saving for your coffin or hospitalization. But many children and even in schhols are doing piggy saving.

@ilocosboy You are right, I opened it when we moved from Italy to France, the Italians coins were worthless in France, I had to change them in the bank.

Back then piggy banks and being taught the importance of saving and working for an allowance was great. They need to bring back some of the awesome piggy bank styles

Maybe because we have so many things we need to buy now, we have so many wants now.
