The Dollar Store or even dollar general
Find yourself a container and make a slit in the top big enough for the largest coin you wish to put in it and there you go, a piggy bank.
I tried to make a piggy bank out of a sea urchin one time.... F'ed my hands up

Not much as he is only Andys piggy bank
They look like pigs because someone made a mistake. During The Middle Ages, in about the fifteenth century, metal was expensive and seldom used for household wares. Instead, dishes and pots were made of an economical clay called pygg. Whenever housewives could save an extra coin, they dropped it into one of their clay jars and called this their pygg bank or their piggy bank.
A jar of dry beans or a piggy bank.
I think what your looking for is the small round rubber disc on the bottom of a piggy bank, that's called a rubber bung. I'm also looking for the same thing to use on a glass block piece, so far no such luck. I'm thinking I may have to buy a cork bung from Michaels and cut it down to size.Good Luck with your search.

The metal disc used to make a coin is called a "coin blank" or, more formally, a "planchet." They also used to be called "flans," but that term is no longer as widely used.
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.

Over the next two hundred to three hundred years, people forgot that "pygg" referred to the earthenware material. In the nineteenth century when English potters received requests for piggy banks, they produced banks shaped like a pig. Of course, the pigs appealed to the customers and delighted the children.
It means someone had a metal punch and too much time on their hands.
It depends on the metal you want to know about. generally if it is the metal u use in your currency as coins. Then the cost is equivalent to the value written on it.Eg If i have a coin of 1 Pound(£) this means that the metal used to make that coin of one pound is having the monetary value of one pound for that much weight of metal.
