The idea of preparing for lean times is probably where the idea of the piggy bank came from. Its origins go back to the middle ages. So-called "Pig Jugs" were used primarily to store salt, but their use gradually changed over time and people started putting money in them. Then, in early 19th century England, the jug suddenly became the "Piggy Bank" as we know it today - greedily awaiting its diet of coins.
