Description
The piggy bank is one of those objects almost everyone recognizes instantly, even if they’ve never stopped to think about where it came from. Long before it became a childhood staple, pig-shaped banks were rooted in practicality. In medieval Europe, household jars used for saving coins were often made from a type of orange clay called pygg. Over time, the word evolved, and potters began shaping these coin containers like pigs—an animal closely associated with prosperity, good fortune, and having “enough to eat.” The design stuck, and the piggy bank became a symbol of saving for the future.
How to get it in ACNH
You can get the bank at Nook's for 740 Bells or Wardell's catalog for 670 Poki. You can save or withdraw Bells from it 1,000 Bells at a time.
How to get it IRL
This Piggy Bank on Amazon is one of the few I found that actually looks like the iconic and classic piggy bank design that you see in the Animal Crossing version. It's adorable and is just the right size for kids or for grown-ups who want to stash away a little cash.
