Product Description
Kids of all ages love the traditional treasure of a piggy bank. Pig E Bank takes this tradition to a new level. When you place a coin in the bank, he will tell you what coin you have deposited and then he will ask for more. The LCD screen will also tally your deposits and give you a bank balance! You can also adjust your balance when you make a withdraw. Need to access your deposited funds? Simply press his nose and watch his mouth drop open to release the coins. Pig E Bank is a great tool to teach kids to recognize coin values and count money while saving their pennies. Requires 3 "AA" batteries, included. Measures 8.7" x 5.3" x 6.3".

 Doesn't work as advertised February 8, 2010
Da-deee
This bank constantly repeats "FEED ME, FEED ME" at the lightest touch in an annoying and loud voice. Sometimes it gets caught in a stutter and you have to remove the batteries (using a screwdriver) to get it to stop. It rarely recognizes the coins correctly. Most of the time a penny reads as a quarter. Quarters often read as dimes or pennies. IT'S WORTHLESS IF YOU WANT YOUR CHILD TO LEARN TO RECOGNIZE AND COUNT CHANGE! I thought the first one was defective, until I returned it and the second one was just as bad. Overall the product is made out of cheap brittle plastic that if given a chance would likely break within a week under normal use.
In short. It's annoying, it doesn't work, it's cheaply made and will just end up taking space in a landfill. DO NOT BUY!
Inaccurate and frustrating!!! February 6, 2010

My six-year-old is very frustrated with this bank. The pig frequently miscounts coins. It suddenly resets to $0.00 without warning and you have to start all over again. Don't waste your money on this pig!
 Piggy Counts For You January 12, 2010

I got this "Toy" for a friend of mine who always seemed to have an enormous amount of change Floating about her house, I was thrilled with the shinny chrome plastic piggy and was sure she would love that it keeps a running total for her. DRAWBACK- every time you put money in it "talks" announcing what the change is called and then the total "Nickel, 5 cents" then keeps talking asking to be feed for a few minutes---- and there is no way to turn that talking part off, I guess a kid might like to be encouraged to go and raid the house to feed its hungry chrome piggy but for an adult its just a bit ANNOYING. My Friend says its not that bad and you get use to it asking for money, she is just thrilled that her husband has taken to depositing all his change there everyday with a goal of a vacation.
Very cute December 3, 2008

This pig e bank is very cute! My kids like putting the money in & even re-counting it over & over. It did get a little annoying when we first got it as my daughter had A LOT of change to put in, but that was only initially. She really likes seeing her total amount increase!
DO NOT BUY THIS BANK! March 24, 2008

As an educational toy, this product is a failure. It does NOT consistently recognize the coins correctly. About 75% of the time it was wrong. Not a good way to teach kids! Also, the bank we received stuttered constantly like a record skipping and would not shut off. Bad product all around!
