A real alternative to piggy banks is functionally only available as a piggy bank without or with motifs other than the pig. This is because piggy banks as gifts are associated with a very special symbolism that is unique. Slaughtering" also only makes sense with the pig motif.
However, if you are simply looking for an alternative to a wallet overflowing with small change, you can also resort to the following containers:
Preservingjars: Practical, functional, available for little money and suitable for every interior style, preserving jars are a functionally good alternative.
Money boxes: If you want to have elements like coin counters, there are special money boxes to buy for this purpose.
Cash boxes: The classic cash box offers not only enough space for small change but also certain security, as they are usually fitted with pin locks.
