Moms piggy bank

Mom's piggy bank

This piggy bank sat on my parents bookcase for as long as I can remember and while
I was growing up, I recalled my mother dropping a coin in it every now and then.



I never really paid too much attention to this piggy bank when I was a kid but curiosity
got the better of me the other day and I just HAD to know what kind of coins were in it

20-minutes later, all the coins were out and they were all dated 1946. . . which was
the year my parents got married. . . I thought that was cool



Thanks for looking,

I think that was supposed to be their liquor/room/anniversary money.

You are still a very bad boy!

The bank itself is probably worth much more than the change you posted. I hope it survived the surgery intact.


Best Wishes,

Neat! For years, my grandma collected quarters for the birth years of her kids and grandkids, and when she died last year, I got a whole bunch of quarters from my birth year. I only wish I had been born in the silver years!

Well they were probably doing that thing where you put a coin in the bank for each time you have sex the first year you are married. After the first year you take one out each time. Supposedly you never run out of coins to take out! Maybe they just put them in!
