The Gold Money Band era, commonly referred to as the bedroom era, was the start of it all. The founder was making every piece by hand in his bedroom; no team, no studio, just a vision for what could be possible. Forced to work alone after all of his friends and family told him he was crazy and refused to be a part of it, he kept going. These pieces are crude and look like they were made by someone just trying to figure things out one step at a time. Long before there was any demand, most of them were given away for free.

The current nameplate was designed in our first real studio, which was a 900-square-foot garage. Around this same time, the studio introduced the first fully designed back. Often referred to as the “vintage ticket” era, these backs included the price of the piece in the design. The prices at the beginning of this era were $200, then $250, and finally $300. The price on the back is the biggest marker of how early the piece was.

PiggyBanx introduces the Airline Ticket back-design; a monumental shift in design. With its beige, red, and black color scheme, this era marks the studio's evolution into refined, globally inspired design. Soon after, the ultra-rare Black Backs emerge, with only 1-3 released per design. Another chase begins, worldwide.

PiggyBanx unveils the Two-Dollar Bill back-design, an evolution in both concept and craft. This design introduces gold foiling throughout, adding richness and depth to every piece. For the first time, variation names are printed directly on the backs, bringing additional clarity to each release. A refined balance of artistry and precision; another defining chapter in the PiggyBanx timeline.
