Back to the Past: Alkansya Alkansya is the Filipino word for a piggybank or coin bank, and its purpose is to store money (coins and paper) for savings. When I was a kid, I used to leave pocket money (baon) and put it on my alkansya. I didn't use alkansya that came from the store or market at that time; instead, I used alternatives such as bamboo (I made one before - own design style), mineral water bottle, Johnson Baby Powder, and alcohol container. I missed those days when I saved money for toys, clothes, and shoes. Maybe most of you experience this and beg/ask your parents for coins. They will give you coins once you have finished your housework or schoolwork. SKL (Share Ko Lutang) 1. I caught my big brother getting my coins in my alkansya. (Sinusungkit gamit ang tsani) ahaha xD 2. I still have alkansya, but it's a box-type style. 3. Alkansya is still used by kids nowadays. Most of here save their money in banks, crypto wallets, and virtual wallets (Gcash and Paymaya) Image source: 1900s Facebook Page
