Savings cans in all sorts of forms have always been popular with children. They help children from an early age to learn how to handle money. On the payday of the pocket money, or if there are extra money gifts for a special occasion, at least a part of this money moves into the money box. In this way, even for small amounts, a large sum of money for children comes together. If enough has been saved, one can then fulfill one or the other greater wish. Almost all money boxes have one thing in common. You can not look into them and you never know how much or little money you already have. Only by shaking one can estimate a little how far the money box is already filled. This insecurity is one of the stimuli that saving cans have on children. Money boxes for children are available in many different designs and sizes. From the classic savings note to the money box equipped with electronics or mechanics for collecting the money, the trade offers a large, almost unpredictable offer with money boxes for children.

The classic piggy bank

For many generations savings boxes were practically only in one form. As piggy bank, The piggy banks were made of ceramics or earthenware and could, if one wanted to the money inside, only „slaughtered“ in the traditional way. A big punch with one hammerand the piggy bank shattered into a thousand pieces. Savings boxes in the form of piggy banks are still available today. Often, however, these money boxes are no longer made of ceramic, but of plastic. And practically all piggy banks have on the building side a large opening with a stopper, over which one can easily empty the piggy bank if necessary. Variations of the piggy bank are money boxes in the form of other animal figures.

A typical piggy bank is the piggy bank Rosalie ceramic from Pajoma. The piggy bank is made from a solid ceramic, weighs around 330 grams and is 9 inches high.

Money boxes with mechanics and electronics

For many children a simple piggy bank does not exert any particular charm. That’s why the manufacturers have always come up with something special and designed the money boxes, for example, according to familiar figures from children’s films and series, or equipped them with a special mechanism. Especially money boxes, which collect the money automatically, are very exciting and interesting for children. If the coin which is to be placed in the money box is placed outside on the money box on a certain surface, a mechanism is activated which pulls the coin into the interior of the money box. This simple feature encourages kids to put on more money, saving more than a normal money-box. Many a money-box thanks itself very well if it was fed with a coin. The insertion slot contains a sensor that detects when a coin is inserted and activates an electronic unit with the stored language.

A very popular variant of these mechanical money-saving boxes is, for example, the money box with a panda bear in a fake box from HuntGold. This money box looks like a brown cardboard box. Inside, a small panda waits for a coin to be served on his plate. There is a coin on the plate. If the bear raises one side of the cardboard lid, he pulls the coin from the plate into the money box.

There will hardly be a child who does not like to „feed“ a money box with coins and occasionally a bank note. In particular, when children realize that they can fulfill their needs after a certain amount of time, they will continue to increase their saving efforts. With children money boxes in different shapes, with or without mechanics, saving is also fun.
