Piggy Bank Hardcover Notebook

This Piggy Bank notebook features a 3D dome filled with green glitter. In Netflix’s Squid Game, the iconic piggy bank is more than just a container for cash—it's a powerful symbol of greed, desperation, and manipulation. Suspended from the ceiling in the lobby, the transparent piggy bank fills with stacks of South Korean won each time a contestant is eliminated. As the game progresses and more players die, the piggy bank becomes more captivating, a constant visual reminder of the brutal stakes at hand.

The piggy bank will be filled with a total of ₩45.6 billion won (approximately $38 million USD), the grand prize for the last surviving contestant. This massive sum is designed to tempt players into continuing the deadly games despite the growing danger. It serves as both a psychological tool and a narrative device, encouraging viewers to reflect on the value of money and the price of human life. The clear design of the piggy bank ensures that the contestants—and the audience—never forget what's at stake.

The piggy bank represents the exploitation of the financially desperate, a central theme of Squid Game. The contestants, all burdened by overwhelming debt, are forced to weigh their moral boundaries against the possibility of financial freedom. The glimmering piggy bank mocks their suffering, dangling hope in front of them while reinforcing the system’s cruelty. As a result, the Squid Game piggy bank has become one of the show’s most recognizable and unsettling visual elements, frequently featured in fan discussions, merchandise, and media coverage.
