A stock symbol of saving money for a rainy day (or just saving money in general) is the good ol' ceramic Piggy Bank. It seems every child has one to store the leftovers from their allowance in... and whenever there's something they really want to buy with their money, the child will always, always fetch a hammer and proceed to, well, 'break the bank'. In real life, nearly all such banks nowadays have a removable stopper that can be used to extract the contents in a much safer (and more sustainable and less violent) manner, making that part something of a Dead Horse Trope. It is also possible to remove coins from a traditional piggy bank by turning the bank on its side and poking a knife through the slot, but this would be a slow process. Piggy Banks often symbolize wealth and something a thief would go after in a cartoon. One possible explanation for the association with pigs is the use of a type of clay called pygg for earthenware pottery, with pygg being mistaken for pig at some point. The monetary storage item can also be in the shape of other animals; in Japan, the Maneki Neko is fairly common. |

The Simpsons: Bart Simpson has done this several times. Not always his own pig either. The first time we see him doing it, the bank is clearly taped up. In one of those episodes where Homer loses his job, he stole Bart's piggy bank and broke it for beer money. Soon after he did it, Homer started showing remorse for having stolen his own son's money and even then not having enough for a beer. Then he stopped to check if it really was enough or not. Upon verifying it was not, he resumed moaning. In another episode, Homer broke a piggy bank and Marge told how he could get the money without doing it. Homer replied it was too late for the warning. The Brazilian dubbing changed it to have Homer stating the piggy wouldn't have liked it. Lisa appears to have been the victim of Bart's piggyback depredations. In one episode (the one where Bart sells his "soul" to Milhouse) Lisa buys something that Bart wanted badly but couldn't get, leading to this exchange: When the Simpsons take a trip to Flanders' beach house which is filled with sticky notes left for them, Bart empties a piggy bank which had the note, "Please don't steal from me." |

A fable Popeye spins tells of a sailor who was given a magic organ grinder as a reward from the Goons for freeing them from the Sea Hag's tyranny. The Sea Hag steals it and demands that it grinds gold for her. But because the grinder responds to polite people and the Sea Hag is impolite, it spits out a penny. The Sea Hag throws the grinder to the ground and calls it a "piggy bank!" | |

Mr. Men: In Mr Men Annual No. 3, a story involving Mr. Uppity tells of how the gold belonging to the King of the Goblins was stolen. The King had hidden the gold under the mattress, which was rather silly of him: he should have kept it in the royal piggy bank. Averted by Mr. Mean, who has lots of money, but (although not stated in the text) is far too mean to invest in a china piggy bank: instead he keeps his money in a plain wooden box in the kitchen. |

Dennis the Menace (US) often uses this to show he needs money. Early cartoons showed him using a butter knife or similar blunt knife to extract coins through the coin slot rather than break the bank since presumably it was made without a hole to remove coins through. In one comic, he confronts his dad, who's in the middle of a poker game, asking why his piggy bank doesn't rattle anymore. | |

SuperMarioLogan: In "Bowser Junior's Piggy Bank!", when Junior sees a commercial for a Hot Wheels playset, he wants to buy it with the money from Bowser's piggy bank, since Bowser has saved over $100.00 in coins in it. Being too impatient to wait until his birthday next week or save his own money to buy the Hot Wheels playset (Bowser even gave him his own Thomas & Friends piggy bank to do so), and despite the warning from Bowser not to break his piggy bank or he will cancel his birthday, Junior breaks Bowser's piggy bank and steals Bowser's money anyway, and buys the Hot Wheels playset with it. Cody later points out there was a plug at the bottom of the bank, so Junior could have just stolen the money without breaking the bank. When Junior worries about Bowser finding out he disobeyed him, Toad replaces Bowser's broken piggy bank with a real pig, which leads Bowser to believe his piggy bank came to life. | |

In the Wallace & Gromit film The Wrong Trousers, Wallace is forced to empty out his piggy bank (which he keeps in a wall safe, which in turn, is behind a painting of a piggy bank) when he discovers how many bills he and Gromit have, only to find all that's left inside is his last few coppers. Fortunately, when he and Gromit capture Feathers McGraw, the reward money they receive is not only enough to pay off their debts, but there's plenty left over to fill up Wallace's pig. | |

Pikmin (2001): Olimar owns a massive one (relatively speaking — it's a normal-sized piggy bank, but he's the size of a quarter) that contains all his savings. It's the final of the possible of the ship parts that he can recover before his life support runs out, but it's not one of the required pieces that will get him off the planet. Of course, you need all thirty pieces if you want to get the best ending. | |

One Pearls Before Swine storylinelinks 1, 2, 3, 4 featured a pair of living piggybanks who were married. The husband stored all of their money inside himself to save up for their vacation on a cruise. Rat points out that the husband would need to be smashed to get the money. The wife piggybank then gets her hammer ready, confesses that she never really loved her husband, and makes plans to upgrade her cabin since she's only going to need one ticket. The final strip of the storyline has Pig steadfastly believing that the wife will choose her husband over money. The last panel shows her relaxing on a lounge-chair alone enjoying a Mai Tai. | |

In Elona, the game features kitty banks of various sizes which the player can use to store gold coins. This is useful as the money inside the bank is not counted towards the player's monthly taxes. In order to retrieve his stored money, the player must destroy the kitty bank by throwing it. | |

One of the early cases in Ron Kamonohashi: Deranged Detective involve a girl reporting to the police for theft because her piggy bank had gotten lighter over the weekend, which indicate that someone had stolen the coins inside even though the bank cannot be opened without breaking it. It turns out, the piggy bank was broken after the client's sister used it to fight off a stalker, who died. She then threw the body in the river, and bought a new piggy bank and filled it with fresh coins to avoid suspicion. | |

When Doug wanted to go see the Beets' farewell concert, he took a hammer to his Beets-themed ceramic bank (symbolism!) only to find a note inside saying "I owe myself five dollars." "Why don't these things ever have money in them?" Another when Doug asks Skeeter to cover part of the $25 fee for a mail-in sweepstakes. He also has a Beets-themed ceramic bank which gets smashed by a hammer, but doesn't have enough money. |

Dexter's Laboratory had one episode where Dee Dee won 200 million dollars and kept the check inside a piggy bank. Needing the money to pay a debt to N.A.S.A., Dexter tried to steal the money but was caught red-handed. Dee Dee loaned him the money anyway but took over almost all the laboratory as collateral, leaving Dex with barely enough space for himself. | |
