A young South African woman left social media users speechless after emptying her large piggy bank stuffed with notes.

Content creator @basscatalogue shared a video of a Gauteng-based woman cutting open a large cylindrical container that served as her piggy bank at the end of April. The unusual savings container, which could hold about 5-10 litres of water, had a small opening at the top where she had been dropping in money.

When the woman cut the bottom of the container and emptied it, viewers were stunned to see only bank notes falling out - no coins in sight. The pile consisted of R50, R100 and R200 notes that quickly formed a heap on the table.

Benefits of using piggy banks

Piggy banks aren't just for children, they can be a helpful tool for adults wanting to save money too. Using a physical container to store cash can make the abstract concept of saving more concrete and visible.

For adults, seeing money physically pile up can be more motivating than watching numbers grow in a bank account. It creates a visual representation of progress and makes it harder to spend impulsively.
