While every parent wants to teach their kid to save money so they can support them in their old age and failing social security but having a piggy bank teaches your children three disastrous truths.

1. They should handle money – Physical money is filled with germs. The flu virus can survive on paper money for 10 days!
2. Interest doesn’t matter – Piggy Banks don’t pay interest either do banks at the moment, but give it time and they will where your piggy bank never will.
3. Animals Are Banks – this is not true of most animals including pigs.
