Where does my Piggy Bank money go?
In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, I received a piggy bank from the Post Office as a reward for saving up 1,000,000 bells. I was wondering what it did, so I put it on my sleek table and touched it. I heard a Clink!, which was the sound of money. I checked my inventory, and I found that 1 bell had been deducted from the 99,999 that I already had. I kept on inserting bells into the piggy bank. Where do my bells go? How can I get the bells I put inside the piggy bank back?
Solution 1:
The Piggy Bank does absolutely nothing but cost money. You cannot get the money back. And according to the IGN wiki it is unknown if there is a reward for putting bells in it: http://www.ign.com/wikis/animal-crossing-new-leaf/Piggy_Bank
It is a Lucky Item though and can contribute to your Feng Shui score no matter where you place it in the room: http://animalcrossing.wikia.com/wiki/Feng_Shui
In previous games it was also worth 7,777 Happy Home Academy points. But I cannot find proof of that for New Leaf but this guide suggests it is true for City Folk: http://www.gamesradar.com/cheats/16074/
Several forums posts also reference the fact that your bells are gone forever. They go nowhere:

Solution 2:
Get the toy hammer from the gift shop and then click on it to smash it open then u get your money back and the post office sends you a new piggy bank
