5 cool modern piggy banks

We're so thrilled to be teaming up with our sponsor Harris Bank who's asked us to offer up cool picks to help teach money management early.

Back when I was a kid, a piggy bank was no more than a basic way to teach money savings to those old enough to dump a few pennies in the slot.

These days, you might have noticed that piggy banks have come a long way in both design and style. With the holidays coming up, we rounded up 5 of our favorite modern piggy banks, which not only do the job they're meant to do, they look pretty swell on the shelf.

The Amigos piggy banks are made from recycled leather which makes them a kid-friendly option. The bold, bright colors and sleek design make them cool for parents too.

 

If your kids can't save enough pennies, they could always just cash in this gorgeous platinum piggy bank by Jonathan Adler. 


The Oink Ceramic Piggy Bank has slots for change and paper money. I have no idea why it took someone so long to figure out that sometimes the tooth fairy gives out bills.



No need to waste time dropping one coin at a time. The Coink bank has a wide opening so your little bankers can toss in their earnings by the handful. 

Thanks to our sponsor Harris Bank for sponsoring this series. They're really committed to helping families make good financial decisions and we love them for that.
