9. Many people have owned, or have heard of, traditional “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 all over the world, and today piggy banks come in all colors and are
made of all kinds of materials, including plastic.
