Did Nixon kill the piggy bank?

[MattDeckard]

I remember when I was a kid in the 80s, my grandparents gave me a piggy bank... it was a big white plastic hound.... but it was a piggy bank to put coins in. 

My other friends had piggy banks as well that their parents or grand parents bought them. It was a lesson in saving. 

If I were a kid in the 5s and filled that up I'd have enough to pay several months rent perhaps. but in modern coppernickel currency that deflates, it would be enough to buy a TV.

Lyndon B Johnson may have.
