Yes, I had same habit when I was a young girl. I would put every coin I got in the piggy. Then day after day, month after month, the piggy became heavier and heavier. We could not draw coins out of the piggy because it only had a little groove to put coin in. Then one day, when we wanted to buy something we were looking forward for long time, we had to break it to get all the coins out. It's a very interesting memory for grown ups who had this habit in their childhoods.

Yes my wife and I always save our coins every day. In fact we gave it to our eldest daughter and we teach her how to save at young age of 2.She has her saving box and she is very happy putting some coins in it everyday.

What I can suggest is to allocate a certain amount into your bank every month for savings so you won't touch it. If you can't see it, it's less likely you'll touch it right? Just like food, if you don't see it you won't eat it as much as if they were right infront of you everyday. Good luck.

Having a habit of saving is very good. You will end up with plenty of money. Good for you that you started young and still on the learning years that helps a lot. Remember many rich people from rugs most of them started by saving a single coins everyday.
I also do that. I believe on the saying that the most important in business is NOT WHAT YOU HAVE, BUT WHAT YOU SAVED FROM WHAT YOU HAVE.
