1221. Where does the term "piggy bank" come from and why is the pig associated with saving money? Why not a cow or a tiger, or some other animal? It has more to do with the origin of the word than with pigs. The Old English word "pygg" referred to a type of orange clay often used to make change-holder, called pygg jars. An 18th-century artisan probably misunderstood an order and            a pygg jar in the shape of an actual pig. The funny pig shape and easily smashed clay have kept piggy banks popular with penny pinchers right up to today.
