A Short History of Piggy Banks

November 27, 2008

After the sale of piggy bank for more than a year has suddenly albeggiato on me – because they are known as piggy bank? What a pig regards saving money? A pig is the last member of the animal of € ™ d youâ of the savings! Why not the rabbit or the bank collects the doggy and for that matter, because an animal at all? Additionally, the piggy bank sounds like it was designed as an element of € ™ s of the child as those adults would use a piggy bank for the collection of change? To satisfy my curiosity I have done some research piggy bank and I learned some interesting things and thought it would have shared with you. As well know, many, particularly bank and ceramic piggy not have an opening to remove the money. Now why is that? The theory goes that this is to serve as a lesson in finances for children. The piggy bank allows a child to save his money but the strength justify the expenditure as to access money that has to break his piggy bank. This lesson seems to be forgotten by many adults! Perhaps we should keep a piggy bank in our front hall and deposit our loose change and come home every day! Demand | The € of the Digress I still remains, as it is called a piggy bank and because it is in the form of a pig? One theory is that just because it was common to buy a guinea pig and power with the waste until it was finally ready for slaughter, so also nourish our piggy bank with small change (of the scraps of € œ of â €) until it fully and then the break to collect the rewards of our investment. According to this, the piggy bank is also suitable for adults. A more popular theory is that, in fact, the original piggy bank had absolutely nothing to do with a pig! In the Middle Ages, when the metal was expensive, un'argilla economic and orange, called pygg was the means for making the POT and vases and are referred to as the pygg pot, for example. One of these vessels was often used to keep the coins. Finally, the jar of pygg bank or pygg used for coins, of course randomly, was known as a bank of the pig or piggy bank! The general consensus is that this development there are a hundred years ago in England when the Crafters have been used to make the bank pygg and should not pygg know who made the bank a form of pork. The oldest recorded piggy bank in the form of a pig is correct for 1500 years from Indonesia. If this is so, above the theory of pygg close around 1000 years! Perhaps there was some connection between the pig and money savings in that culture but does not seem to influence the Western culture, where the modern piggy bank has evolved only once, by the pygg of a few hundred years ago. Of course, the piggy bank is not popular in all crops. The pig is considered an unclean animal according to the Old Testament and is not owned, not eaten nor benefited from Jews. Similarly, Islam prohibits food of the hog had to be impure. So you would not find too much piggy bank in Muslim countries and in the case of those of Jewish and Muslim faith. The modern piggy bank, if made from ceramic, plastic, metal or branelli was a factor and a very popular gift of € ™ s of the collector for children due to its appearance supplichevole and fun. Beyond that, or smile suffocated rice we experience every time we fall a certain change in our piggy bank let them be reminded by the lesson that teaches us! By the way, the famous phrase, breaking the € œ of the â € of the bank, has nothing to do with the piggy bank!
