My new Piggy Bank

January 16, 2026 12:45pm CST
Even at the age of 65, I am finding that old habits do indeed die hard. Hence my latest Piggy Bank. It is infact a Cookie Tin which contained lovely Cookies we got from a nice neighbour for our Xmas. The Cookie Tin is a sort of model of the Polar Express which Caledonian Railway runs from our wee town. I am using it to save 50p coins, £1 coins, £2 coins and £5 notes. I reckon it could take years to fill. I also have a chocolates tub, empty of chocolates which we use for smaller denomination monies. Do you like my new piggy bank? Do you have a piggy bank?

I do not have a piggy bank. I put coins into coin rolls and then deposit to the bank.

I have never had a coin roll unless I dropped it.

I think it's lovely. I have several receptacles for coins; but not as lovely as yours.

My other piggy bank is a round Heros tub. At one time it had 550g of yummy little chocolates in it. They didn't last long Linda

Aye It really is. I keep borrowing from it already. Need £8 for the takeaway delivery. Needed £18 so took it from the Choo Choo train. Saved giving the driver a £20 and asking for my change

I do like your new piggy bank. It's really lovely. We have small change in a plastic ice-cream container. Occasionally we manage to get it to a bank.

Pouring the contents into the coin counter is fun and anticipating how much could be counted.

Oh, that's so cute! Yes, I have a piggy bank that I got free from work that is a giant version of the smiley face, like this I put coins in it and it even has coins from different countries that my friends gave me, including a Welsh coin with a dragon!

A Welsh coin with a Dragon, cool. I don't think I have ever seen a Welsh coin. A piggy bank is a great thing. I can't believe so many adults continue to save like they were taught to as kids

I think what ever you use to save $ & keep it safe is what counts I have a safe box I've had for yrs & being I'm back in my cabin I'll start putting my left over $ in it being it has a lock & key. This is the year I want to start saving $ so I can start getting things I need & want for me & the cabin B-4 I can't ?

I think living for the moment at our ages is a good thing. We decided if we want something we will get it whilst we can. I hope you get what you want and need for you and the cabin

My internet is very slow, the image is only half finished, I don't know if I like your piggy bank or not, and I still have some coins in my wallet.
