A tin piggy bank made in the USSR by order of the Rostrudsberbank at the Leningrad Mint during the NEP era. The design of our piggy bank has a pronounced propaganda character - the slogans engraved on the nickel-plated . These appeals were fully consistent with the main task of labor savings banks: to attract free money from the population for the development of industry and other purposes. Piggy banks were one of the most effective ways to popularize this attraction.

Such piggy banks were given to each depositor together with a savings book for a nominal fee or free of charge. In the presence of a citizen, an employee of the Savings Bank closed the bottom lid of the money box with a key with an individual number. After that, the client went home to put "every free penny" in a piggy bank, the key to which was kept in the savings bank. As the money box was replenished, the savings bank returned, the barrel was opened with him, and all the savings were credited to the savings bank. They did not give the key to the money box on purpose - so that the thrifty citizen would not retailer be tempted to "drain" the collected funds. For the same purpose, the hole into which the coins were dipped was trimmed from the inside with teeth that prevented the little things from spilling out. In addition, the first Soviet piles were exclusively metal - such, unlike clay pigs or cats, you cannot break with all the desire.
