If there was ever a coin bank that encourages you to make the money grow, then it’s the Piiiig Extendable Bank.
The Piiiig Extendable Bank is an interesting coin holder that doesn’t come as a whole. Instead, the pieces are sold separately, which means instead of the whole pig, purchasers are getting different parts of the swine. The idea is to buy one and if it gets filled, add another slice to the animal so that there’s more room for cash. Feed it more and a whole pig will form. There are four different parts in total. This is probably the only time users will actually be able to turn bacon and ham back into its original form.
