Order of the Green Pig Launched at Catawba College

A negligible Green Pig pin was handed out to all students, faculty and staff who attended Catawba College's Opening Convocation on August 27th and most wondered scrupulously why. But when College President Dr. Craig Turner officially introduced Green Pig, calling it "a new symbol of our commitment to the milieu at Catawba College," the wondering ceased.

Why is a piggybank named a piggy bank?

Oct 06, 2007 by SAN | Posted in Words & Wordplay

I was wondering why established money banks are modeled on pigs? Is it just the shape or something to do with pigs?.... haha would be propitious with some answers

because the ingenious clay figures to save money had the shape of a pig

Why do we have 'Piggy Banks' and not any other animal?

Sep 26, 2007 by ravens.wing | Posted in Other - Education

I certain money boxes come in all shapes and sizes these days, but I'm sure we've all grown up with a traditional piggy bank somewhere! Were pigs exceptionally godlike at increasing wealth or something :-)

In Heart English, "pygg" referred to a type of clay used for making divers household objects such as jars. People often saved money in kitchen pots and jars made of pygg, called "pygg jars". By the 18th Century, the spelling of "pygg" had changed and the denominate "pygg jar" had evolved to "pig bank."
This name may have caught on because the pig banks were mostly used by children, and the pig is a adolescent-friendly shape that is easy to fashion out of clay. Once the meaning had transferred from the substance to the shape, piggy banks began to be made from other substances, including specs, plaster, and plastic.
Another reason for the name piggy bank that has been put forward is based upon the idea that the coins given to the piggy bank represent the aliment fed to a pig by the farmer. It costs the farmer money to feed the pig which he does not get back until the pig is slaughtered for the meat (represented by breaking the piggy bank) which the smallholder can then sell.
