The Money Trough comes from Terraria, the sandbox adventure game released by Re-Logic in 2011 and expanded through major updates afterwards. In game it summons a flying pig that works like a portable Piggy Bank, letting players store coins and items safely while exploring. Players shared its oink as a standalone clip because the sound is short, recognisable and tied directly to in-game wealth. It now circulates on gaming soundboards as a quick audio cue for banking coins, finding loot or joking about paying for something in a video edit.
