My Golden Piggy Bank
By edev5 onI received this piggy bank as a birthday gift from my brother around eight or nine years ago. He knew exactly that I collected piggy stuffs at that time. This piggy bank is golden-colored, and Im pretty sure that its made in China. I can tell that from the Chinese writing located at the left and right side of it. Were Chinese descendants but honestly, I dont know what the Chinese writing means (I guess it would be Luck or Prosperous or Wealthy, but I should ask my mother for that). Its ironic that we cant write or read our ancestors writings (I can read and write only a few writings.. lol..), but thats the fact we should deal with. The Chinese writing is embossed with red color ink, clear and outstanding. The slot where we put the coin into is located at the top, and theres something like a black rubber at the bottom of it (just at the center of its four legs) which functions like a locker, or lid, to remove the coins out. When I was hanging around a Chinese festival, I noticed that there were many exactly like this, came with various sizes (I guess mine belongs to the large size). I have stored many coins in this piggy bank I think, that I occasionally open the rubber locker just to peek how much I got.. lol.. And Im glad that I wont have to break it just to grab the coins because other piggy banks may not come with the lid/locker. I love this piggy bank and dont have a heart if I had to break it. Thank God I wont have to do that!

What a nice brother and such a cute little piggy bank!
