GMW Money Box Challenge

Piggy banks and money boxes have been around for thousands of years! The origins of the name ‘piggy bank’ dates to the Middle Ages when Pygg, an orange colored clay, was used to make pots to store money. The name pygg jars evolved to be known as ‘Pig Banks’, and the rest is history!
