Show & Share
Did you bring your coin collection or coin bank? Show everyone your favorite coin collecting container or coin collection.
Coin collecting is a popular hobby. Some coins are worth a lot of money. The US Mint, where coins are made, has some interesting information about this hobby.
Why it's called a "Piggy Bank"
In the olden days the clay used to make pots in England was called "pygg" clay. People used to save their coins in these clay jars called Pygg banks. Eventually someone decided it would be a funny joke to make a clay container shaped like a piggy to put coins in and that's why we call them Piggy Banks today.
Do you have coins in containers at your house? Where else do you find stray coins?
Tomorrow's Show & Share will be about your favorite restaurant. Tell us what you like about it and what your favorite meal is.
