―The Stash blurb

The Golden Piggy Pack is a jetpack in the shape of a piggy-bank. It has an embossed dollar sign on the side, and purple gem eyes. When used, it fires banknotes from its back.

If you are equipped with the Golden Piggy Pack, the scientists will actually chase Barry for the money expelled from the jetpack.

Trivia

• It was originally released on Friday, February 7, priced at 75 000 coins on Android, and 100 000 on iOS.
• The Golden Piggy Pack originally cost 50 000 coins, but was raised to 100 000, then lowered back to 50 000. In July 2014, it was on sale for 37 500 coins (25% off). The current price is 75 000 coins.
• The description references how 1928 was during the Roaring Twenties, an era in which the stock market was expanding. This period is notorious for people wasting money (and getting into debt) for "average" conditions.
• While scientists are attracted by this jetpacks dollar bills, they run in fear from Profit Bird, despite also dropping money.
• Unlike other jetpacks, the scientists don't change into "panic" mode when the player gets a vehicle and still run towards Barry. This can also make them run towards the aforementioned Profit Bird, as if it functioned similarly to Golden Piggy Pack.
• This jetpack can help with high five scientist missions by causing scientists to run towards you. Tap the screen to trigger the chase which helps to reach the number of scientists to high five quicker. The scientists only chase after the bills, so it's recommended not to wear the Air Barrys, and 'skip' along the ground to keep releasing money.
• This jetpack could no longer attract scientists as of version 1.6.1. of the game, though the effect was reverted back from 1.7.0 onward.
• This jetpack can be used for free during Bling It On! Event, though it could only be obtained as the reward from collecting gold bars in 2015-2016 runs of the event.
