Many people have owned, or have heard of, traditional "piggy banks," coin banks shaped like pigs. A logical theory about how this tradition started might be that because pigs often
symbolize greed, the object is to "fatten'.one's piggy bank with as much money as possible.
However, while this idea makes sense, it is not the correct origin of the term. The genesis of
the piggy bank is the old English word "pygg." which was a common kind of clay hundreds of
years ago in England. People used pots and jars made out of this red "pygg" clay for many
different purposes in their homes. Sometimes they kept their money in one of the pots, and
this was known as a pygg bank. Over the years, because "pygg" and "pig" sounded the same,
glaziers began making novelty banks out of pottery in the shape of a pig as a kind of joke.
These banks were given as gifts and exported to countries where people spoke other
languages and where no one had ever heard of pygg clay. The tradition caught on all over the
world, and today piggy banks come in all colors and are made of all kinds of materials,
including plastic.
This passage is mainly about how...

Opeople in England made pottery centuries ago
a common term originated in a surprising way
an unusual custom got started
