AncientPages.com - In early European times, most household wares like dishware, jars and barrels were made of dense, orange-colored, economical clay.
People used to put their small savings in kitchen jars made of this clay and called them "piggy jars".
Later, the jars became known as " piggy bank" or " piggy banks" because like all banks, they stored coins inside them.
