The origins of the term "piggy bank" come from the Old English word "pygg" which referred to an orange clay. This clay was used to make many things including dishes and jars to hold spare coins. The word pygg sounds much like the word pig, and probably was changed due to misunderstanding. I guess from there, the pygg jar for holding coins became a pig shaped jar, or piggy bank, for holding coins.
