I used to give new babies a piggy bank. Wal Mart had a great selection , 40 versions for $10.00 each, for a two quart plaster jobs. Now the stores here quit carrying them.  I can't even find decent injection molded plastic models. How much would it cost to get some plastic piggy banks made? Standing pigs, sitting pigs, maybe a few that look like cash registers in five colors , brown footballs, white baseballs,orange basketballs, white golf balls, blk and white soccer balls. order maybe 1400 total.

I use coffee cans. One for nickels, one for dimes, and one for quarters. Pennies I toss. Recently took one in to the bank and had $180 in quarters in it. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

Michael's Craft stores have them in my area, in ceramic. They are big and can be decorated with paint or sharpie markers. Clarior Hinc Honos BSA Dad, Cheer Dad | |||

| Thank you Very little  |
Maybe its due to Dodd Frank, piggy's can't comply with the new banking regs, so they no longer can be used...  | |||

Nowadays, since piggy bank can't accept debit cards or Paypal payments, they're quickly going the way of the Dodo. (Heck, even Monopoly uses debit cards now...) | |||

Got a couple for our nephews a couple years back on Amazon. Just found one for their little sister at World Market. Not ubiquitous, perhaps, but not hard to find if you look. -Rob I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888 A=A | |||

Stores pulled them so as not to offend the "PORK AVERSE" crowd  "No matter where you go - there you are" | |||

Largely because Americans don't save anymore...not even symbolically. Not a week goes by I don't see an article outlining how the majority of Americans could not pay an unexpected $1000 bill. | |||

Can you make your own? That was a thing in the 70s. Or maybe look for the Japanese Lucky Cat bank. Those are available online or at asian grocery stores. More fashionable than a pig.
