@txtami - Welcome to our friendly Candy Crush Saga community. The piggy bank holds gold bars (not points) that you accumulate by winning levels and earning stars. The piggy bank can then be purchased for $2.99 when it reaches a certain level, (the maximum amount of gold bars that it can hold is 30) and then you can use the gold bars to buy extra moves or boosters. Please let me know if you have any additional questions about the piggy bank or the game and I will be glad to answer them.
