So in the 19th century when English potters received requests for pygg banks, they started producing banks shaped like pigs. This clever — albeit accidental — visual pun appealed to customers and delighted children. Early models had no hole in the bottom, so the pig had to be broken to get money out.

This adorable pirate ghost piggy bank is perfect to store all loose change and dollar bills. This makes for the perfect gift for a kiddo who is learning about saving money. This item is also paintable so it can make a perfect craft as well.
