Managing Money in Nintendogs: No Piggy Bank, Use the Bank Icon

There is no "Piggy Bank" item to find or unlock in Nintendogs (any version).

How Money Actually Works

• The Bank Icon (Main Menu): This is your piggy bank. It displays your current $$ (Dollars) balance.
• Earning Money: Win disc competitions (Lure Coursing), obedience trials, find presents on walks, sell unwanted items at the Secondhand Shop.
• Spending Money: Tap the Shop Icon (Main Menu) → Interior / Accessories / Care / Music → Buy items. Funds deduct from Bank automatically.

No Physical Object Needed

The game abstracts currency into a simple number. There's no wallet, purse, or piggy bank to carry. Just check the Bank balance before shopping.
